I have to recommend a drop bar road bike. The hybrid is good for 10-20 miles rides, commuting, fenders and racks. A drop bar road bike is good for those longer weekend rides. You'll get better advise if you provide your budget. I recently purchased a high end carbon fibre Synapse and I really like the feel of the bike. The Synapse is priced higher than the Lexa, but has better components. I think you want to look for what is called "plush" road bike. The geometry is less aggressive than a race bike. Component wise, they are not much different. Because of a bit of relaxed geometry you might find that you fit a men's bike equally well. WSD bikes are often the same geometry, but with narrower bars, different seat, shorter stem and sometimes smaller brakes. I found that the men's bikes fit me well and the WSD seemed cramped. YMMV. Other bikes that are similar to the two you listed are the Felt Z series and Speciaized Dolce. Jamis bikes are also good looking bikes.

Fit is most important. Go to some LBS, ride some bikes, compare the feel. Welcome to the world of cycling!
