Sure we are.
g, unless you are planning to also do some mountain/trail riding with the bike, I'd stick with a more traditional road design. Besides being more comfortable for longer rides, I believe the tires are bigger in diameter, and the whole gear ratio is better as a result. Something like Cannondale Road Warrior you pictured seems best.
Of course disc brakes aren't typically found on road bikes, but a good quality bike should have good quality rim brakes so you'll still be able to stop.
The disc brakes really shine in sloppy weather - something you indicated you won't have to worry much about - but they also add weight and $$.
I'd check out what Trek and Specialized have to offer in this price range if you haven't already.
