Dangeruss, something to consider is that these modern oversized, compact geo frames can be pretty harsh and unforgiving compared to old bikes. I have a similar modern hybrid and it is a real boneshaker, so harsh it actually slows riding down considerably because you cannot glide over potholes, but have to smash your way through.
Also consider that, amongst high end commuter bikes like that, you can find some with integrated dynamo lights amongst other features which are useful like mudguards.
