You're using the wrong organ make your decision.
Just as choosing a wife by listening to your gonads is the best way to make a wrong decision, turning bike buying into an intellectual exercise is the best way to make the wrong decision there.
Riding a bike is not an intellectual exercise, but a physical one. Deciding between bikes should also be.
Look, the four bikes you listed are so similar they might be identical.
- They're all similarly equipped. The differing details between them are meaningless.
- Their geometry is similar.
- Their pricing is similar.
- Their intended market segment is identical, and your intended use if firmly in the center of that segment.
- Any one will give you the same bragging rights.
- Not a one will make you unhappy.
But, one of them will speak to you on a different level and intensity than the others. When one speaks to you as a lover, that's the one to buy.
The way you listen is to ride the bike. Again, riding a bike is a physcal exercise, so the purcahse of one should also be a physical exercise, not an intellectual one.
Take your brain out, give it wash, and hang it up home to dry, then take your body on a test ride. Ride each one. Go back and ride them again if need be. But I guarantee, one will speak to you.
And it won't do so from a specification sheet or an internet forum.
