Did my first century on one of these with cyclocross tires. I like the suggestions of running your current bike for another year. You will have a better idea of what you want, there will be more options available, and likely a better price.

I would just ride the bike you have and save up for a nicer road bike. These days it is tough to get a decent road bike for that low and if you already have an entry level hybrid it is always nice to upgrade from that rather than just buy something slightly similar. The Specialized Allez Elite is a great entry into the road bike market.
