Should I go for an Scott Addict RC 15 or an Scot Foil RC 10

I have the option to get a complementary bike (my main one is a TT bike). I have a maximum budget of 5,000 USD. Taking into consideration the specs of both options, could you help advise me?

  • Scott Addict RC 15
    • Year: 2025, brand new
    • Groupset: SRAM Force
    • Features: Power meter included
    • Wheels: Syncros Capital 1.0 35 mm
    • Price: 4,500 USD
  • Scott Foil RC 10
    • Year: 2022
    • Groupset: Shimano Ultegra Di2
    • Features: No power meter (though I already own pedals with a power meter)
    • Wheels: Syncros Capital 1.0 50 mm
    • Price: 3,100 USD (I would be the third owner)

My routes are pretty hilly (usually around 800 m of elevation gain), and I think the Addict could help me. However, I am not sure if it is really worth the 1,400 USD difference, or if, as an amateur cyclist, it makes sense to spend that much more.
