Do you have slicks on the mtn bikes?
If you love the good ol' mtn bikes, I wouldn't change over to a hybrid. Unless the mtn bikes are too heavy.
If you really want to go dramatically faster than a mtn bike with slicks, you'd probably do better with a touring/road bike. Try a few when you try the hybrids. (touring or cyclocross geometry will be slacker than sport/racing geometry and might be more comfortable for you)
Take a peek at the bike in my avatar. It's a Kona Dew, a cyclocross geometry frame with a flat bar. Sort of a "fast hybrid" with road wheels and commuter tires. I like the flat bars for commuting and shorter rides, but for rides longer than 30 or 40 miles I really prefer a road bike and drop bars.
