Get what you want and feels good to you. Get a good fit to make the most out of your rides. I just switched from a road bike to a recumbent. I'm 53 and had to "re-learn" to ride ('bents are somewhat different in handling characterisitcs). I commute 18 miles. Funny thing, the wife still hasn't figured out how I can smile after the 18 mile commute! As she says" how can you be smiling after pedaling all that way!" Good luck on your search.
