The last question I have is what's the point of a hybrid if a cyclocross is better on roads, and better on trails from what I read? I don't get it.
Some people don't like drop bars. Others have to ride in city traffic, where flat bars offer a position with superior all-round vision. My main bike is a crosser but if I was going to do courier work in a big city again then I'd get out my flat bar all-rigid MTB.
In your case, the hybrid has much better hill climbing gears for that dodgy knee you mentioned in Cross.
