It's hard to say without knowing more. Often the cheapest bikes are cruisers and hybrids. They're fine for short to medium distances. How far do you need to go? What's the terrain like? Hilly or flat? How much stuff do you need to bring along?
Raleigh makes a lot of bikes, so it's not quite enough to go off of.
Oh and one other thing. What's comfortable sitting in the shop and what's comfortable after 10 miles may end up being quite different.
