Since I got it, it's drastically changed so it actually feels quite aggressive at the moment as I've only had it in this setup for a month or so, but I do have some adjustment to go IMHO as my position is still not perfect (thinking longer stem).

This is what it used to look like when I got it.

The Tarmac tends to be the choice for most climbers in the Pro Peloton, then the sprinters have the Venge. I'm no expert if I am honest as this is only my second bike. At the Crit racing I have done, I see quite a lot of Tarmac's compared to Venge's.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

The tarmac has finesse and class its stiff and responsive. The Venge is a sledgehammer, a blunt force weapon. It is an insanely fast bike.
The tarmac is easier to live with IMHO and more forgiving.

 

[jack smith]

Ill vouch for the benge being a sledgehammer since starting to ride mine it is like usain bolt off the line or when you put the power down
