>>1679631Stock generic crankset on the claris one is square taper (terrible), the Sora one is at least splined. When you get sick of having a shitty offbrand crankset (because that's how specialized does) and replace it the Sora one will weigh about a quarter pound less. Other Sora bits weigh slightly less too.
www.specialized.com/us/en/allez-sport/p/184448Spec page says the crankset that comes with the Sora version has a 46t big ring, which would suck. Claris version is 50/34, which is more standard.
Both have (different) shitty offbrand brake calipers. Don't know which would be shittier but upgrading recommended in either case.
Other than that they seem identical except the paintjobs (which imo are all uggo for both bikes but it's your call).
