I had a Trek FX 7.5 WSD (2010) which I was very pleased with and really enjoyed riding. Unfortunately it was stolen, and I am now looking to replace it.

I had intended to just buy the newer 7.5 WSD, but these seem to be increasingly hard to get hold of in the UK - in the UK, the 2014 FX WSD range stops at 7.4.

I have found one stockist with the 2013 7.5, but have also found the 2013 7.6 available for a similar price, so am considering upgrading. Unfortunately the 7.6 is not available to test ride, as it has to be ordered in so I am worried that I will not love it as much as the 7.5 - I have read some reviews suggesting it is much more like a road bike than a hybrid, compared to the rest of the range. Is there much difference in the feel of the two bikes? What are the advantages of the 7.6 over the 7.5?

I mainly use the bike to commute to work (on city roads), and for some longer leisure rides on both road and track.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
