Strongly second the Fuji recommendation. I fill in at a shop that sells both Trek and Fuji and would recommend the Fuji over the Trek to someone in your position. The Fuji SL frame is one of the lightest production frames made at about 1/3 of the cost of the others in its class. The 105 brakes are to hit a price point, and they're fine. It handles well, and is reasonably comfortable.
The trek to consider would be the Domane, as it has a number of features to tune the ride to be unbelievably smooth, yet the bike still handles well. But it is mucho dinero more than the Fuji.
Fuji's are really underated bikes because they have a smallish marketing budget.
