    Try them all, at least ride each for 20 min so you can assess how the bike feels in its fit (too stretched? too cramped?), how it responds to you (how much work is it to accelerate? how does the steering feel? etc), how it shifts, etc. Some bikes look very nice but feel like an Oldsmobile... it takes you forever to accelerate! Also, if you can, try different sizes. I would not worry about whether they have WSD bikes or not. It's an issue of fit and WSD is not the right one for many.

    If you've got the money and can find the bike that fits, my thought would be to buy now, especially if you're in the middle of the size range.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
