Another new bike query

After many many years away from cycle racing I have started to use my old bike to try and regain some fitness.
The old bike is falling apart and I don't think it is cost efficient to keep replacing parts on it (especially as some are now obselete), also worried about if the bike is still actually in a safe condition.
I have around œ1000 to spend:
I could spend about œ900 on a bike and save the rest for bits and pieces (pedals, helmet etc) in which case what would be the best option:
Trek 1400
Specialised Allez Elite
Felt F85
Bianchi Nia 7
Or is it worth spending a bit more, say œ1100 on the bike alone and getting:
Bianchi 1885, Felt F75, Tek 1500
Only looking for the bike to help gain fitness not for getting back into racing.
