Yeah, I’ve decided to just go ahead and buy a new bike. My current bike needs more work than I thought. I’m hoping to test ride this weekend.
In that case, the Quick is probably most like your Liv Alight in that it has a rigid fork rather than a suspension fork. A few test rides should tell you pretty quickly whether you want to stick with the same type or change to a front suspension. If you decide to go with a suspension fork, I gotta say that Ghost looks really cool. I wasn't familiar with that brand until reading your post. Looked it up, and I really like the design just because it's different.
In any case, you've been riding for several years so you probably have a decent idea of what to look for when test riding. So just go test 'em out and find the one that feels the best. It's always fun shopping for a new bike -- enjoy!
