Yep. With more miles you'll discover what matters most to you. For some folks, speed and aerodynamics are critical. I get that. Some people love the feeling of a featherweight bike. Some people like geometry that suits out-of-the-saddle climbing because they dig hills, hills, and more hills. Some folks want to go camping over the weekend or travel the globe, so obviously their needs are totally different. Crazy crowded urban insanity of the big city? Needs a different bike again.

My rides are are from five miles to fifty miles at a mellow pace, with lots of stops for sight seeing, photos, and snacking. Play time. Exercise time. No serious goals other than to clear my head and enjoy being outside. I've discovered that a relaxed, comfortable riding position and big soft tires are more important than anything else to me.
