decision day! I will have a new bike by 7:00 pm tonight (i'm in California).
I officially narrowed it down to the Quick 4 and the Sirrus Sport, both 2013 models. Is the $100 price difference really worth it? I love the way both bikes look and ride, but is the price difference really worth it. I'm sure you guys already know the Quick 4 is the more expensive. And which bike is lighter? they are both pretty light.

More than component comparison, which one is more comfortable to ride? That would be a better way to decide. I tried the lower models of both - the Quick 5 and the base Sirrus, and I didn't find the Quick comfortable at all, so I ended up with the Sirrus.

I have a 2012 Sirrus Sport and love it so I'd go wit the Sirrus. I don't know much about the Quick 4 though so I can't really compare.

You said you love how they both ride, so I assume that you liked the ride equally? I'd go with the Quick 4, but I like the Sirrus as well. The Quick has a carbon fork to help dampen road vibration, I don't believe that Sirrus does (though I could be wrong). I just found that I felt more road buzz on the Sirrus and I hate road buzz.
But get whichever one you like the ride of the best. $100 is not a lot for the many years of enjoyment you can get from that bike.
I would, however, probably change out the saddle on the Quick. The 2011s were pretty hard.
