Check out Ibex. They are a company out of Atlanta, GA. They make great bikes at a great price. I love all the bikes you mentioned. Actually it looks about like the same bikes I was looking at when I got into bike commuting. I have the Ibex Corrida. You can find it at www.ibexbikes.com Check em out at the least. Most importantly get the bike that fits you right and feels good when riding. Good luck.
