Need help finding my first road bike

I am now starting to get into road cycling and want to advance up to a lot more long distance and eventually a century (like most people). I have been riding on a friends road bike for a while and like it and now deciding its time to get one of my own. The only problem is my head is just overwhelmed with options and types, etc. I'm not trying to go on the cheap side or the most expensive side something in the middle ($1000-$1300). I know its my first but it's an investment for the future since I am serious about getting into this sport. Some local bikes shops around carry Schwinn, Trek, Scott, Giant...... One bike I was looking at was a SCOTT Speedster S40, just one of the many. Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated since I think this is the right place to ask this type of question.
