As Yogi Berra said, "when you come to a fork in the road, take it."
I'd also advise to road test many different brands of bikes. You may find something that fits you better for the same price, or something that fits you just as well for a little less money.
(Just curious, as there is someone on another bike forum posting with the exact same name as the OP. That poster was looking for info on a new bike, but they said they bought a bike over the weekend.)
