The question is never "
a new bike" but rather "
which new bike"!
From what you've said about your intending riding style, the Volpe sounds like a good fit. The 700x32 tires will be good for reasonably high-speed cruising.
I say go for it, as long as it fits you and is comfortable to ride, especially since you want to do some distances on this bike. If it's not comfortable, you won't want to ride it.
