The Bridgestone 700 is a VERY nice bike. To get a comparable ride from BD, you would probably spend $1000 or more...IF you could find a comparable bike...A lot depends on
A: Does the bike FIT you.....if not.....PASS
B: Condition....How has it been treated, how much work does it need...
C: Cost...if it is a decent price, you will probably get more bang for the buck from the Bridgestone than ANYTHING new for comparable price.
D:Are you Mechanically inclined, can you or will you do your own work, or will you have to pay a LBS to do it all? Important to consider.
