It is leaps and bounds better than my bike. My bike has served me well, but she is far past her prime. My wallet just isn't ready.

I have the scott contessa roadster(oops - I have the speedster) - it sure feels a lot faster than my 40lb hybrid.

I love, love, love that the 2007 Speedster is Maroon and White! That is my college colors. I vowed my next bike would not be white, but it is so pretty. If I could put maroon bar tape and find a maroon saddle, well that would just be gorgeous! The Carbon of the race one is calling me though, of course the bar tape would not be white.

It is a raleigh hybrid - built like a tank with suspension fork, suspension seatpost, and rack for commuting. The scott - about 20lbs feels like I could pick it up and run and be faster than riding the hybrid - but hybrid serves its commuting/light trail purpose well. Plus - it is good training for hills.
