I bought a 2007 Trek FX 7.5 earlier this year, and am very happy with it. I actually intended to get the 7.6 FX, but none of the shops in my area had them in my size, and the shops couldn't order one as Trek themselves were out of them, so went with the 7.5 rather then wait for 2008 models. I am kinda glad it worked out that way, even tho the 7.6 w/105 is a bit better, the components are still really good on the 7.5, and the bucks I saved have been put to good use toward accessories. I use the FX for commuting and transportation a lot, so needed accessories like a rack, fenders, lights, etc. Even if you just use it for recreation and fitness, you'll likely want to buy some accessories, maybe riding clothing and shoes, etc. You might want to put a better saddle on it too (maybe a Brooks?) if going for 25 mile rides on a regular basis.
