For hybrids toss the Jamis Coda and Giant Escape lines on for a look too.

I'm waffling around on a similar decision myself. Looking at CX or a hybrid due to tire flexibility in choices. Two days ago it was CX, but I'm wobbling back to a higher end hybrid again as 28's are faster than the 35's a CX comes with...then again you can swap out tires on the CX the other way. I absolutely ruled out road race bikes due to the small tire sizes and having had horrible luck with them years ago with flats from debris or rough surfaces. I want paths, street, occasional smooth dirt trails etc.

Heh, as an OCD engineering type when it comes to buying any gear...it can be a bit crazy to pick.

Do test ride a bunch, consider carefully flat bars vs drop bars and the fact that flat bars limit your hand positions. It's one of the big gaps in my case between a hybrid and a CX bike as converting from flat bars to drop can be expensive due to changing the controls around.

The bikes you listed are all quite high end, ride some of the next level down in the line too, you may find what is a rather big price jump from one line of gear, say Tiagra to Ultegra isn't good value for you. It's a good $400+ jump generally, just something else to ponder. Buy what you feel is best, but I found the mid lines to be better than I expected and a world better than what I had in the 80's that was considered high end then. Each line tends to have the same frame, but with different gear setups on them. Sometimes wheel quality changes or bottom bracket quality changes, have to weigh out what you are getting and if you would really notice or care.
