Buy used and get two bikes to rotate, maybe a mountain bike/drop conversion with fenders for serious commuting, and then an old road bike for fun. Drop bars are great for providing multiple hand positions. If you're like me I ride to try to stay fit, so a heavy commuter bike just means more exercise.
