Bit overwhelmed by the options here. From what I've read these are all a decent value.
I'm looking to ride around a moderately hilly urban area (Atlanta). Mostly want to expand my car-less reach to the many adjacent neighborhoods, but perhaps also commuting – up to 6mi each way with 275ft inclines/declines on google maps. The fx2 or fx3 sounded great but there are none for sale near me. This miurwoods e-bike seems like a steal for my purposes and I've used drop-bars before. Otherwise the domane AL 2 looks to be in incredible condition, but the sirrus and ds2 also get rave reviews..
What do you guys think?

The Domane will be faster/ easier on the hills than the others. But the FX 2 or the muirwood are better if you need to carry stuff with you. If you choose the FX 2 you’ll need to add fenders and racks for maximum commuter functionality, the muirwood comes with them so it’s the better bargain.
Not sure there was ever an ebike muirwoods sold, so that will be an aftermarket kit that someone’s put on. Can be alright, but obviously there’s a lot of safety concerns to be aware of.
If you want to do longer distance rides, an hour plus, then there’s really no substitute for drop bars. As long as you’ve checked the sizing.
Domane all day
