Help choosing a commuter: Specialized Vado 3.0 vs BULLS Lacuda EVO E8 vs Moustache Samedi 27 XRoad 5

So I'm looking to get a commuter/daily ebike to replace my car. I'll be using it for a 7 mile commute that includes ~0.5 mile of very steep hill but is otherwise pretty mild (slightly uphill on the way in, slightly downhill coming back). I've done a short test ride of the Vado 3.0 and really liked it, but considering how expensive this purchase is I wanna make sure I get something I really love.

All three of those bikes in the title have a dealer relatively nearby that I'd get them from and plan on testing the other two soon. Things I like about these bikes:

Integrated head and rear lights
Rear rack
Removable diaplay
Pretty much look like normal/thick bikes

The Lacuda has an especially large battery which is nice but not necessary. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience or opinions about these bikes, or recommendations for another bike.

Lacuba also has a gates carbon drive which will be handy if you're a year round commuter. Maintenance on those things are very easy.
You should always get a bike with the biggest battery and you will realize the need as you start biking regularly. They become invaluable on cold and windy days or on days when you want to go 30+ miles.
E-bikes enable people to get on bikes more often than regular bikes.
