Advice on buying a used Luna Pro or a new Trek

I am buying a very clean used 2001 Calfee Luna. The bike is selling for $1,850 and is equipped with very good componets. However, a friend is pushing me to buy a new Trek for a few hundred more. I have ridden both a Calfee Luna and Trek Madone 5.9 for about 2 minutes though a parking lot almost two weeks apart; so it is a little difficult to compare them.
Would I really notice much of a difference in the overall feel between these two bikes? What I ideally want from a bike is something that is fun to ride, and comfortable on long rides.
Thank you,
Bruce
Here is what is on the used Luna:
Campy Record shifters, cranks and hubs
Chorus front and rear derailleurs, and brakes.
Chris King head set
Kestral EMS Pro carbon bars
Ritchy WCS 110mm stem
Thomson Elite seat post
Fizik Arione seat
Mavic CXP 33 rims
