One good thing about your decision is that you can change it down the road if your biking style/routine changes. I've got bikes for just about every scenario. And I love the variety. Bikes aren't that expensive, and they can pay for themselves if you substitute them for a car sometimes.

So, buy the nice hybrid/fitness/flat bar road bike now and down the road if you think you need/want a road bike, then either sell the old one and get a new one, or just buy the new one. Hybrids are about the most versatile style of bike out there, so they are a great "I don't know what kind of bike I want" bike. They work pretty well for everything. On the other hand, road bikes are about the most single purpose bikes there are. Great for their intended purpose, but not near as versatile as a hybrid.
