Which one have you tried? All bikes ride and feel different.
I tried a Trek and a Specialized. Both same size but couldn't get on with the Trek.
For the amount of money you are spending it's best that you try a few test rides.
You don't want to get a bike and down the line realise that the bike is not what you want or expect.

The Trek or the Giant, the logo's look cooler on the downtube.

Find a LBS which will give you their time, and like Ianrauk said test ride some bikes.
The Canyon is Aluminium, but pretty much the best racing bike you will get for your money for the price, also check out Rose bikes. Those two are unbeatable.
FYI I have ridden steel, aluminium and carbon bikes, I now use an aluminium Rose to race and it is as combfy and lighter/stiffer than my old carbon frames - you'd have to spend a hell of a lot of money on a carbon frame to beat it

£870, you would be bonkers not to go for this - I'd be happy racing that bike in pretty much most races. It's not much over 8kg either.
Also check the discontinued models out for Canyon and Rose as well, good specs with a bit of cash saved!

Just make sure you talk in depth with Canyon about sizing given you have already bought a frame that is the wrong size - get it wrong when buying from Germany, could be a lot of aggro and cost to get the right one. personally, I'd buy from a UK based retailer unless I was very sure the bike was right (there's nowhere in the UK to sit on a Canyon unless you can find a friendly owner who's happy for you to get your leg over theirs)

Do you have a website address by any chance?

Link is above the picture of the bike, but they only have XL or XS available most of the time - bait and switch
