Hey all =)

I am trying to get myself a new bike. I want to upgrade my comfort hybrid into a womens performance hybrid bike. I had a really bad experience at my LBS 1st bike was a guys Giant Escape 3 small frame guy at the shop said I "looked" good on the bike. My body begged to differ the next day I could not move . We exchanged the bike for an XS Alight 2. Again he said I looked good on it. Yesterday was the 1st chance I had time to take it out and I was struggling to make contact with the pedal - its like my right foot could not find the pedal. If that makes sense. I rode almost 4miles and got this intense pain that felt like a band on my upper thigh that wrapped around to the back of my leg. I took the bike back in they looked at me then the bike and said it looks good. Not me actually in the bike. They showed me other bikes and i was not interested. Especially after the last two bikes I lost my trust in them. I got them to refund my $ but had to pay a 10% restock fee which was unfair. Better than 20% restock though!!

Anyways looking at two bikes

Trek 7.2 FX WSD
or
Specialized Vita 2015 - the shop that sells this one throws in a fitting with the purchase of the bike. Which is definitely a PLUS

Any suggestions on either bike?

I am a daily commuter 7-10miles 5x a week. I like to go on the towpaths on the weekends. I am 5ft tall.
