I would recommend Option 2 or 3.
When looking at bikes, I think it's hard to judge comfort from just sitting on it, or even a short test ride. When I first sat on my 09 zx-6r and took a test ride, it felt very aggressive compared to the 250r. I had a 45 minute drive back home, and was really starting to question my decision. My back ached a bit, and so did my wrists. However, after a few rides, I got very used to the riding position, and now, I find it more comfortable than the 250. Not sure I'd want to take it touring, but then, I really didn't buy it for that.
