Any input you all have would be greatly appreciated!!
Don't underestimate the importance of "more comfortable."

It sounds to me like you are maybe questioning if your bike is "sporty" enough, or will "grow with you" enough. But no one bike is the "perfect" bike - bikes have many purposes, which is why some of us have more than one

I think the bike you will love, and stay in love with (for at least a the first year or so ), is the bike which feels great to ride. THAT bike is the one that will get you out there even on cold, rainy days and at inconvenient times, just because it feels good and makes you happy. So you'll ride more, which is the general idea

It is easy to get caught up in the chase for the elusive, perfect object. Even if you do get the fx, well, a few months/year from now, you'll probably want a different bike for some other purpose

Also, with experience, your tastes will change. Until you have more experience, you cannot predict HOW your tastes will change.

And I'll put in a personal plug for having a bike you can wear a skirt with, and which you don't have to heave your leg over. Which looks cute with a girly basket But that is a personal opinion! I'm very happy with my purely recreational/commuter status!

So finally, go with the bike that brings you joy to ride, and not with the bike that others think you should have, or that you think "offers more;" because you bring yourself to the experience of riding whichever steed you buy.
