You have to get out and ride, ride, ride. No one here is going to know what you find acceptable in terms of it having a smooth ride and a comfortable riding position. Personally I found the Fuji and Trek to be more comfortable to me to ride. But they tweak the geometries over time. And you can swap stems and change the saddle position and make a big difference on any bike. Or even change out the handlebars for ones with more sweep and rise. Personally I don't like a flat, absolutely straight handlebar. Go ride and find something you like, then don't be afraid to tweak it a bit.
