I have a Luna and recently (75 miles so far) my Fly came in. They are both great bikes. Even with the greater weight difference I'm still not Lance so I'd let the lugs vs. no lugs and price make your choice. You won't be disappointed no matter what. When I bought my Luna there was not a Fly. I spoke with Craig on the phone...he asked all about me...and recommended the Luna. I loved it from the first ride.
On my Fly Craig and me spoke again and he recommended the Easton Fork this time. He said they had not had one come in that did not meet specs on the nose. It is all one piece of carbon and I like that design.
We often said it on the old forum and it is very true. Your wheels will make more of a difference than which frame. That is a very big decision. I've had a variety of wheels and that makes a perceivable difference.
We had some very vocal folks on the old forum that loved Campy. They were in full agreement that Chorus and Record were essentially a toss up. Your decision is a solid one.
One idea is a compact crank. Campy is bringing one out and FSA is doing an out bearing model. I have one on my Kestrel and I love it. An 11/50 is the same basic ratio as a 12/53 so your high is high. Then you can get a "super" low for mountain riding easily by swapping out cassettes.
When the new FSA Compact is out I will be putting in on my Fly. I already have most everything else I need for the switch. You can see it at their site.
