The only way to know is to ride the bikes and compare them.

Between those two choices I can think of many other variables that I would consider and ride would not be one of them; assumption that both will be fantastic riding bikes.

I have a Serotta Legend SE ST with carbon stays and a Serotta F3 fork and a Waterford RS-22 made of S3 tubing and a Reynolds carbon fork. Neither were made custom for me. The guys at the LBS say my Legend with Shimano road tubeless wheels and Hutchinson road tubeless tires is the smoothest riding bike there is. I have Velocity Deep V's with Vittoria Open Pave CG on the Waterford and it is a fine riding bike also. I am afraid to put the Shimano wheel/Hutchinson tire combination on the Waterford for fear that it will ride better than my Legend!
