I chose a specific frame, I opted for the caliper version - Domane SLR - caliper. After riding it for 3 weeks and struggling with clearance offered when removing wheels for easy transport, I chose to upgrade to a disc version. And so, unlike may of the vigilant caliper die-hards that turn innocuous threads into flame-wars, I own both, ride both, and have weighed the merits of each in a real-life decision analysis, ultimately putting my money where my mouth is.

And to the OP's original query, I prefer the aesthetic of my disc Domane to my caliper Domane 4.5 for reasons previously provided.
