Default Buying a Bike this Weekend - Help

OK, I’ve shopped the LBS, ridden various bikes, and have come down to a choice between a Specialized Sirrus Elite and a Fuji Silhouette (both hybrids). I’m having a tough time making a decision . . . would like to hear from people riding those bikes as to what they like/dislike, any problem areas, etc. Both are about the same price and have similar components (as far as I can tell), making the decision even tougher.

I’m getting back into cycling after a long absence, will be doing most in-town riding and can get out to cycle every day (and hopefully get back in shape).

Thanks for any and all advice.

If they're basically the same, go with whatever feels better. Obviously, go for a test ride on both of them (not just a spin around the parking lot).

Did you make a choice? I'm considering the Silhouette and am looking for some first-hand impressions.
