Narrowed down to two bikes - decisions, decisions!

I posted last week that I tried the Trek 7.3 FX WSD in the Trek store and liked it. I was holding off until I could get to the LBS in my hometown. I stopped after work and the mechanic put me on a Cannondale Quick 6, and it felt so good! Any opinions about each bike?

He also put me on a cruiser (comfy but pass) and a serious road bike. When we'd finally gotten the seat low enough to sit on, I couldn't reach the brakes! Plus I toppled over on it, but didn't completely wipe out. What a bad fit for me. As he was pumping up the tires for each other bike for me I kept getting on the Quick 6 and riding it around the parking lot.

Of the two I think I liked the Quick 6 better. Plus it's $439 whereas the Trek 7.3 FX was $619.

You might consider going up a level or two with the Quick for the better components. The FX7.3 has better components than the Quick 6.

I have the Quick 4. Somewhat similar to the FX 7.4, as it has a carbon fork.
