That Domane is a solid choice. Unless you’re planning on paying your bills with bike race earnings, the trivial amount of difference is, well, trivial. People here and many other places will whine about differences measured in grams - GRAMS. Many of those same people could lose a few pounds, so seriously, don’t believe for a second that any difference between one year model to the next is gonna be a game changer. Empty your bladder and you’ll make up the difference.
That Domane looks like just what you’re looking for. And for the record, I’m no Trek or Domane fanboy.

Edited to add: You did ask for any other recommendations so I’d suggest a look at the Specialized Diverge. The early Future Shock reviews were a little less than stellar, but those reviews are often from the same guys whining about the weight, so do your homework. And for the record here, I am a bit of a Specialized fanboy and probably would have begun my search there.
