I already have a Specialized Rockhopper (great bike by the way), but I would like to pick up an E bike for the commute. Has anyone compared the Ezip to the Izip? The IZIP seems to cost twice as much as the EZIP, but what are the advantages and are they worth the added cost? Thanks.

I don't think your goal is too ambitious. I'm months away from Medicare and for the last 2 months I've been biking, eZiping, commuting either 15 miles one way or 20 miles one way 5 days a week. Granted I don't probably have the same kind of time restraints you do, but if you want to do it, you can. My 15 mile trip 'to work' is usually less than an hour.
