It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

First off, all these brands and model names! If you're frugal (I certainly am) then you should be very wary of spending over the odds in order to fund a marketing budget. Another problem with showy brands is that they make you a target for thieves.
A bike is a bike. It's mostly a bunch of mix-and-match spare parts made of metal (or else by Shimano). This is why (IMO!) the case is weak for spending $$$ on a big-brand bike, unlike for example a high-tech gadget which is essentially a black box. Unless, of course, what you're looking for is the label itself.
Anyway. Go electric. Seriously. I say that a former serious cyclist who has done lots of touring. It makes cycling less of a PITA and so more likely that your new toy won't be abandoned in a closet in a few months time. If you were in Europe I'd recommend secondhand or something from Decathlon. If those are out then you could do worse than ordering direct from one of the new Chinese marques. Like mine, an electric fat bike which I've posted several pics of here. I've done 3000 km on it since last year, all touring. It's extremely reliable and I didn't pay hundreds of bucks for a fancy label.
