If you liked the look of the bikes so much and they are in your price range, why on earth didn't you ride them?
Either you've found the bike of your dreams; or you'd discover you hate the damm bar ends because you have no control over the bike from there, or the geometry was awful for your body, or you hated the sound of the drive train, or the aluminum frame jounced you enough to make your teeth ache, or it was too heavy to lift up your front steps every day, or it smelled bad, or WHATEVER.
One way or the other, you'd have more knowlege!
You can't make a wise choice without RIDING SOME BIKES and gaining some KNOWLEGE.
GO. RIDE. SOME. BIKES.
