What is the most value for a hybrid bike?

I'm in the market for a new bike. I do a lot of paved roads. I initially was going for a road bike, but I like the versatility/comfort of the hybrid bikes when I test drove a men's 2013 Schwinn Sporterra bike.

I'm unsure of what to get in terms of getting more bang for my buck. I'm looking to spend below $500 USD for it.

I am considering the Diamondback, Schwinn Sporterra Sport, and I'm not sure what else there is in terms of good quality hybrid bikes. Any advice?

Answer
Go the the local bike shops you want one that doesn't have shocks they just add weight and soak up energy.

Is the Diamondback 2013 Insight a good hybrid bike? I want to get a nice hybrid bike in the price range of like 300-400$. Also, what will be a good price range for nice hybrid bike? Ty!

Answer
It's just OK. Third vote for the Insight 2. Got an R.E.I. store around? They have the Insight 2 priced LOWER than Amazon.com Plus they will assemble & tune-up the bike for you with a service warranty good for another FREE tune-up as the bike gets settled in.
