Quick entry level road bike question...

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
Sorry guys – another newbie looking for advice on entry level bikes and looking to spend under £500. I’m torn between:

Felt F95 Sora 2013 (£486)

Specialized Allez (£495)

Giant Defy 5 (£424.99)

I’ve heard that the most important thing is to try them out and see how they feel but I just wanted an opinion from someone who knows what they’re talking about on whether it’s actually worth paying the extra £60/70 for the first two or if there’s no real technical difference between the three. Hard to tell just from the descriptions if there’s a difference in their spec because I don’t know what the difference is between the various manufacturers of specific bits of kit. Heard good things about all of them obviously.

Cheers.

The Felt has a carbon fork and sora doesn't it? The others I think are alu forks and 2300.

From my limited knowledge Sora is better than 2300 and a Carbon fork is preferable over alloy. So it looks like the felt has some better components, though I don't know anything about the frames.
