A friend of mine has £1100 to spend and got an offer for either a Giant Defy Advanced 4 or a Kuota Kharma, both 2009 models with similar componentry.
Which one to go for?

but check if its the 09 model it will have a cut away in front of rear wheel
The knarma is full carbon with shimano 105
surely there isnt alot better out there for that pirce.
Uless you know something i dont of course, enlighten me.
On top of that, when you try to buy it which ive just done, it says the stem is out of stock so you cant order it
, which for the uninitiated means is a sales gimmic to get you tochange the stem for one that will cost more money.

I would definately (unless you are tied to either of these bikes) have a look at Planet X or Focus (wiggle)
both these companys carbon frames are excellent, I have ridden both PX and the Cayo the PX carbon frame suited me more and was a tad more comfy over 100 mile+ rides, both use good quality carbon fibre and have numerous (unbias!! unlike 220) reviews by respected test riders.
Just my opinion........
No, thought not, so to coin a phrase...............NEXT!!!
Which bike out of these two would you buy.
As is nearly always the case on here someone came on and said i wouldnt buy any of those.
Without giving any reason why or giving him more choices.
Its 10pm in la la land, you think that planet x are open now, the focus cayo also comes with the same mediocre 105 groupset as you put it as does nearly every bike in this prices range.
But as for the OP original question, if i have the choice as i said i'd go for the Kharma, reasons why if you need the exact reason is because its a new design for 2009, and its bloody good value if he can indeed get it for 1100 thats about 600 off the rrp.
