These are some of the relaxed geometry/sportive frames out there; if you HAVE to judge without test riding them judge it by stack and reach; its a metric that is not hard to understand and evaluate. You can measure the stack and reach of your current bike using a spirit level and compare it with the ones listed above (and more).
Scoble started a thread about this but there is info all over interweb: http://www.lfgss.com/thread126717.html

Generally feeling the need of upright frame means you are lacking core strength require to keep the upper body upright without pressure/weight on your hands but thats a different subject.
