Looking something more for the long term but i know I may need to upgrade parts as I get better at riding.
I tried my friends giant trance and really fit me well and enjoyed the geometry.
Please help me decide which one!

Thank you!
Usually hard to beat Giants price point. You could get the Trance 2 for the same price as that Canyon.
Have you considered local brand Transition?
