Spend a weekend down at a couple of LBS' and ask whether you can take some for a test ride.. You'll find that some are very accomodating and will let you take the bikes for a 20km+ ride... Comfort is a very personal thing and when riding you want to ensure that you are comfortable or you will quickly become discouraged.

Nice work there, I would spend the extra $300 for that Azzuri than the Sora equipped Trek, the Azzuri is a much better equipped bike and well worth the extra money.
