Here is what I was thinking:
1. Cannondale Quick
2. Specialized Sirrus
3. Trex Fx
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
When I was younger and rode for several hours/miles (for the day), I found drops to be very comfortable with multiple hand positions.
Now in my 6th decade my rides are shorter and find that flat-bars work for me. I even swapped the drops on my roadbike to flats.
Before you decide which bike ensure you spend some time with them in the real world if possible and buy the one the fits you best. That said I would pick the Cannondale Quick 1.
After deciding which new bike, get your current bike fitted properly and enjoy a few more miles with it.
