New Crux, New Grail CF, or slightly used Aspero?

[chiltonp]

I'm almost set to pull the trigger on a Crux Expert, (Rival AXS) today, local shop is giving me somewhat of a deal at $4400 USD plus tax.

I can get into a new grail with Rival AXS for about $3500 plus tax but it lacks some of the tech of the higher end grail frames, (internal storge, d-shaped post, and upgraded bar/stem) and doesnt come with carbon wheels.

I can also probably find a new or slightly used Aspero with Rival AXS for around $3700-4K USD, but it seems the Aspero may be getting an update soon and only accomadtes 42mm tires.

My question is, is it worth it to spend more on the crux for the wider tire clearnace, lighter frame, and carbon wheels?

Anyone rideen both the Aspero and Crux and can compare the two?
