Is it the seat you're having problems with comfort-wise? Riding position? Wind? A lot of long distance comfort issues can be remedied, to an extent.
My bike is no super model, so I can't comment too much on looking cool, except that the more riding you do, you'll have a better idea of what you need in a new bike, so will be in a better position to get something that looks good, and does the business. No point having something pretty and shiny if it's just as uncomfortable as the GN.
The road to hell is paved...
