The Felt B12 is a TT bike? Doesn't seem to be ideal for the OP's use case. The Diverge is a decent entry level bike but if you can stretch the budget to get the E5 version, it will be a noticeable improvement over the A1 version. No opinion on the Tommaso other than it seems to be similar to a Bikesdirect bike (not a bad thing necessarily, but not my personal top choice). $1k gets you a lot of bike on the used market, OP should be able to find a used Synapse or Roubaix in that range that fits the bill.
