Hi, I'm Trek, and I'm a bike-aholic
Hi Trek (no kidding aside to AA etc which are great and serious things)

At last count I have 3.5 bikes. Ranging from full custom dream machine, to 15 years old commuter-mobile, to found in a thrift store, to found in a dumpster Really!

I love them all. Last ALC I seriously considered riding my 15 year old commuter rather than custom road ride and perhaps would have done better especially on Day 1.

Please consider if you love the Trek and it fits you well skinny tires and lighter wheels are a cheap effective new bike!! Don't get a new bike just to replace the seat. Your current bike could be a perfect flat-bar roadie.
