Will sit on it for a bit and go back for another ride to make sure but if you're looking for the same sort of bike I am, highly recommend a test ride on the new Domane. The only thing is that it's at the higher end of the major brand carbon bikes with 105 gear. $2900. Makes the Giant look like great value!
Funny, I am leaning the same direction after considering and testing a lot of the same bikes as you. The Domane just checks all of the boxes for me.
The new Domane SL5 is a little heavy for a road bike, but not so much for a gravel bike. I need to investigate where the bulk is coming from. I suspect the stock wheels are boat anchors...
