Also, particularly as you're buying this for commuting, have you asked your employer about the bike to work scheme? Certainly something worth doing.
I can see the attraction of the bike you're posted and certainly as house brands go, Pinnacle are one of the better ones in terms of build quality and componentry. However, as a heavier rider, you might something along the lines of a steel framed touring style bike a good option too. If you do become lighter through riding (9 mile each way daily can do that) it will continue to serve you well.
