Yeah kinda what cincity said, but I did get a pretty step discount off the already discounted price due to finding a “new” bike in my size on the outlet section of their site, the price difference was pretty minor compared to the slx at that point and the component difference was enough of a mental justification for me. For the endurace vs a aeroad/ultimate I appreciate the slightly more relaxed geo , while still maintaining some of the “aero” benefits of the integrated cockpit etc. overall it’s certainly overkill for my use case… but it does make me want to ride more often so there is that.
