If you think you like this genre (and it's a very popular one), then I would recommend trying different models to see what strikes you. You may fall in love with one and buy it on the spot -- that's the bike for you!
I think one of the things holding me back is showing up at a road ride on a hybrid and not really getting a warm reception. I don't really join a lot of group rides, but I do enjoy riding in fundraisers where most cyclists are on road bikes.
