Or Litespeed Titanium Sienna with Ultegra.

The Madone 5.2 List price is around $3700 and most stores sell this for $3199 + Tax (approx $224) = $3423

The Le Champion SL Ti is available at a discount for this limited production = $1999 (includes shipping)

Warranty
Trek gives lifetime against defects or a $350 crash credit towards a new frame (08 frame/fork = $2749)
If you crash your Trek or ding a tube, a replacement Trek road bike frame costs you about $2,400+

The Motobecane Titanium frame has a lifetime warranty against defects. Titanium is the MOST crash and dent resistant bike material on the market. Carbon fiber or Titanium, which material do you think is easier to crack by accident?

Components
Trek has housebrand parts and housebrand wheels
The Litespeed Sienna Titanium has lower level Ritchey PRO and lower level Ultegra (Not the higher level Ultegra SL)

The Motobecane has top-of-the-line Ritchey WCS parts (used in all pro races and the Tour in France) and WCS Protocol wheelset
