I have been a long term Specialized e-bike rider, having owned an original 2015 Specialized Turbo and now a 2022 Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ. I am seriously considering a Checkpoint+ (or Domane+) instead of a Specialized Creo 2. Based on my research so far, the Trek TQ-based bikes have caught up with Specialized SL V1.2 bikes and then some with slightly more powerful motors, slightly larger built in batteries, better battery charge setup, and roughly equivalent features (range extender batteries, built in frame mounted dashboard, handlebar controls, etc.). It also appears that the Trek bike may be a bit less expensive when compared wit the equivalent Specialized Creo 2.

I am specifically interested in the pro's and con's between the newest Domane+ and Checkpoint+ assuming they are equivalently equipped. Thanks in advance for your feedback
