If it fits well and you like how it rides, then I don't see a problem. I like Specialized bikes, at least my 1986 Stumpjumper, that is. Never tried a newer one, but I think they are fine bikes.

I would just compare to other bikes with the same features. Like Jamis and Bianchi, for example. Comparison is always a good idea.

That's quite a commute you have.
