Newbie Question

Hello all,
I'd like a little help from more experienced riders. I currently have a 2012 Trek 7300 and have been riding it on and off for several years, it has a rack & bags and the basic accessory setup. I'm enjoying riding more often and typically go about 25 - 30 miles a couple times a week. The bike is great shape, in fact I just changed its configuration a bit today and seams to fit better. I'll find out tomorrow.
My question to the group is: I'm considering upgrading to a Trek FX S4 or possibly a 2017 Specialized Cirrus Comp Carbon. If I spend the money, will my ride be noticeably different? Will I be able to go faster? or is my speed just a relationship to my power and weight? 5'9" @ 220, I currently average 13-14 mph.
Thanks for your input. I ride to workout and I enjoy riding.
