I think if one's body is without internal lingering degradation or injury, an upright might very well suite them. But for me, I have the beginnings of carpel tunnel issues as well as left shoulder and hip issues. With that, an upright simply will not serve me over a long distance. That doesn't make an upright a bad choice and frankly, I see the appeal of a DF. But my 50 year old "dad bod" with lingering injuries simply can't hang with the roadies.
If you can, before you buy a trike check out TerraTrikes or Green Speeds. In any case go for a trike that has indirect steering.
