Get the bike that calls out to you and don't worry how it looks.
This. Also, there might be a good reason certain frames/bikes are very common at a given price point. While I love the looks of Bianchi, for $2800 you might be able to get a better bike for the money. However, if you could double your budget the Oltre XR.2 would stand out just fine in a nice understated way.
