Default 2006 Fuji Team Issue or 2008 Madone?

I am 43 and will upgrade from my older Aluminum Fuji Team Pro soon. My LBS has a new lefover 2006 Fuji Team Issue (15.6lbs, full Dura Ace). I can't find any reviews on this bike . I ride about 125 miles a week at about a 18mph pace. They want 3,000 for the bike. The 2006 Fuji website has a suggested retail on the bike at 5,300. I also have been looking at the 2008 Trek 5.2 madone and the cheaper 4.7 Madone. Anyone have any suggestions on which to buy? I want something that will give a good smooth ride and still be light and quick even if the rider isn't. I weigh about 170. I am not a pro by any means just a late afternoon rider. This will be my last bike purchase for a long time and just want to make the right decision. The LBS does not stock Madones so I can't test ride them. Thanks for any help!!
