Within a 100 mile radius, you're lucky to find a LBS that even has one of the several you're considering, much less in your exact size (especially x-large)...

Giant bikes come in sizes like XL but most don't... They apparently are the largest bike manufacturer on the planet so going to their site is an education. If you're interested in road bike, for example, there are a lot of models you'd cross off your interest-list--e.g., aerobikes, tribikes.
Looking at "Endurance" offerings there are 3 models and 2 of them are $3.5K or more. So, that leaves... 3 models of Giant's 'Defy Advanced' ranging from $1,685 to 2,425 and the XL fits riders 6'2 - 6'4
