I'm also considering the Trek FX 7.2 and Trek 7300. These seem to mirror the Fuji models I've been considering. Unfortunately, my LBS wants to point me to a true road bike one day ("most flexible for hand positions") and a true mtn. bike the next day ("just put thin, smooth tires on the mtn. bike and you've got the same as a hybrid for riding streets"). It's getting weird out there, as I search for the bike I want.
