GIANT riders

So I have a 2014 Giant Defy 3 currently. I am looking at trading it in on a new 2015 Giant Composite advance2. Still dont think I am up to a Tri bike yet and I do still like doing daily rides on the road. Avg rides outdoor run 30 to 50 miles and indoor trainer rides around 20 to 40mins with 12 to 18 miles. So I am going to do test rides tomorrow on the new bike. Just wanted to hear what others have to say about the bikes. If you have any Pos/Neg comments please let me know. Major reason for this is I want something more comfortable and just higher quality of bikes. Just to give you some boundaries I can turn my old bike in plus Team discount and can get on a the new bike for around $500 to $800. I have to keep it under 1k the boss (the wife) says. I also looked at the BLUE AC1 SP SHIMANO 105 that I could get on but really like my GIANT and I can get it here local from hometown shop. Thats a plus for me I like supporting my local shop Big Poppies Bicycle shop here in Manhattan KS also named one of Americas best local bike shops.
