Ebikemotion vs Fazua which is better?

Scott sells a similar e-road bike (Canadian site) : https://www.scott-sports.com/ca/en/product/scott-addict-eride-10-us-bike?article=280745007

Unfortunately, Ribble doesn't sell bikes in Canada. The Scott Addict, at 25.5 pounds, looks prefect, but the deal killer for me is that Scott used their racing style frame for this ebike. At my age I want a more touring style/upright geometry.
I'd love the opportunity to ride bikes with all three motor systems, back to back. Before the pandemic hit I test rode two Creos (aluminum frame and carbon frame) back-to-back over the same route.
I was surprised that I could actually feel the 3 to 4 pound difference between the two bikes on a steeper hill.

I changed the stock wheels on my Orbea Gain and even that made a difference 1 lb of rotational weight

The flagship Ribble is 23 lbs but at almost $10,000 US it’s more than I wanted to spend

Ribble Endurance SL e - Hero

The ultimate stealth e-road bike just got lighter and more efficient too, thanks to the world's fastest and most reliable wireless shifting!

The top-of-the-line Scott Addict is around 24.5 pounds, but like the flagship Ribble it is considerably more expensive than the model I mentioned in my most recent post.

Scott Addict E20 has a Mahle 40Nm motor and 250Wh battery and 22 speeds and weighs only 12 KG and sells for USD 4,500. My concern with Scott is the lack of dealers even in California and having to drive a long distance for any warranty work.

But my primary issue is not knowing how well the e-bike systems will work with my own style of riding. With rolling hills I want to power up as fast as possible for shorter grades and not gear down and grind up the hill as I would do on a very long grade. If the motor assist stops in the 18-20 mph range then it would be better if I stayed with my regular non electric road bike.

I understand that I need a Class 3 28 mph bike for starters and then it becomes a matter of which one within my acceptable price range (which is USD 5,000 or less). I do not want to invest more than $5K with the technogy evolving so much year to year as I have no way of knowing the value of a 2021 e-bike in 2022 or 2023.

The DI2 Scott addict in Uk is $8800 US in the Uk vs $7000 for the Ribble. I assume it’s cheaper in US which doesn’t surprise me!

I find the Mahle Ebikemotion not to be fast vs regular road bike on flat or slight inclines. It performs best on steep climbs, where it will leave most cyclists except pros.

I'm sure you're right about the bike probably being cheaper in the US. Unfortunately, I live in Canada, where the prices are considerably higher.
The top-of-the-line Scott Addict is over $10,000 (Cad) in Canada.
