Both bikes use numeric (cm) sizing but the Domane offers six sizes vs the Strada's four. Stack and reach are similar at overlapping sizes, with the Domane running slightly taller in stack - typical for premium endurance frames. A rider on a Strada 56 will be very close to a Domane 56 in fit but with a marginally lower front end.
Choose the Trek Domane if you want the best endurance road comfort money can buy and you ride frequently enough to justify a $3,000+ purchase - IsoSpeed and the carbon frame genuinely change how a long ride feels in your back and hands. Choose the Raleigh Strada if you are stepping up from an entry hybrid or first road bike: it gives you 80% of the geometry benefits at roughly a third of the price, and you can always upgrade later.
Trek Domane - IsoSpeed and wider tire clearance noticeably reduce fatigue on rides over two hours
Trek Domane - lighter carbon frame and more aero tube shapes make it the faster bike, especially on rolling terrain
