The advantage of a hybrid is that while it is pretty comfortable on the paved road, you can take it on a trail, hop a curb or hit a pothole without fear of a blowout. With 23mm tires on it, I would be afraid to do any of those things. Your ride needs to be confined to good paved roads. Obviously you can change back to wider tires, but not in the middle of a trip. If you are going to be riding exclusively on the road, it really is redundant to say you should get a road bike.
