For 200 more you should have better components indeed but that does not mean that all hybrids have lesser componentry ... it depends on the hybrid you choose.
You say it is quicker but that's probably because your hybrid isn't very sporty ... a roadbike is not quicker by default.
You say it is more comfortable but that largely depends on how comfortable your hybrid was ...
my hybrid has nice ritchey grips, bar-ends, very comfortable aerobar, front suspension for added comfort and even seat post suspension for not hurting my already very bad back.
I dare to say that a hybrid can be much more comfortable than a true raceroadbike.
