(since my Devil was stolen, I've ridden a Felt for the last month and I can say, even though it is a very commuter-specific bike, it sucks for anything but DWI-style cycling. Nothing snappy, quick or fun about it. It's the equivalent of driving a Ford Focus).
that's why i put the disclaimer "depending on your commute".
5mi each way is do-able on a track bike, if you have a 20+mi commute, you might want a legit commuter.
