Too close to call. I would likely choose the Tarmac because I know Spesh's warranty is solid because I have been there.
Because they are both the pinnacle of what a racing bike should be, you need to ride each and decide for yourself.
Oddly, it will likely come down to what shape fits your eye better and what color you prefer, provided subtle geometry difference doesn't sway you either way.
What the other guys said.

In America, I want an American bike not because its better than bikes out of Europe but because of warranty. Specialized or Trek makes sense in that regard. Maybe if you are on a first name basis with your Giant dealer you are ok. But seems like its harder to get warranty support of out Europe if you live in the US.
With carbon, a warranty is pretty important...unless you steal the bike off Ebay for 30% of retail.
