help me pick a SWB recumbent

Appreciate input!

Have been researching recumbent and have developed the following criteria:

SWB

Speed - as fast or faster than my Serotta Legend for spirited Club weekend and weekday training rides
between speed and comfort not sure which is priority
Comfort - ride 160-mile ride across Indiana and possibly week long tour or brevets

Climbing - good climber, want to be able to get my body into it? - almost exclusively remain seated on DF - many 15%+ short hills in Southern Indiana

BB-low enough to see road-may need guidance here

wheels-prefer 700 standard road bike wheels

prefer made in USA-Rans, Volae, Edge, Easy Racer and Lightning are the manufacturers that I am aware of that manufacture some or all models in USA.

also rack and bag accessories

good customer service
