Which racers handlebars do you have? If a flat bar for say mountain bike racing you could just try a riser bar and a different stem. However if you have a drop bar or truly want to be comfortable you might consider getting a fit and letting your fitter know you would like to be more upright and comfortable end explain the issues you are currently having with your bike and your body and they can help you with your current bike and make it easier to ride.
If I were picking from Cannondale probably Quick 1. Specialized would be Sirrus X 4.0 (or 5.0 non-X), Kona would be Dr. Dew or Dew Deluxe, Marin would be DSX 1 (or 2) or Larkspur 1 (or 2).
The Roll is a comfortable bike but very upright kind the 3.0 in the last decent one they have as they seem to be less supportive of it now they have their third gen Como which has taken off immensely.
