Only you can decide if it's worth it. Can you go try some bikes at a bike shop? Different people like different rides. Going by looks over the net isn't the ideal way to go. IMO I recommend brick&mortars for noobs. The Pista Via Brera looks kinda dope out of the box imo. With a BD bike consider the cost of having a mechanic looking it over (at least tighten the cog/lockring, and a stem/headset adjustment), maybe a wheel truing or 2, and new pedals and maybe saddle. The rest should be fine until it breaks. Both of these bikes are geared a little high so you may want to gear down too with a bigger cog.
