If you have some mechanical inclination buy the H1 model for $50 less and throw a 9/10 Speed Shimano CUES on it for an extra $70-90.

The difference between the H1 and H2 is not all that different than the difference between a Trek FX1 and FX2. FX1 is 8spd 11/32 with Tourney/Altus components, mechanical disc and FX2 is 9spd 11/36 with Altus/Acera components, hyrdaulic disc. The price difference for Trek is $100-150 between them.
To me, $40 for the upgrades is worth it, but for others it may not be.
A carbon fork will likely cost about what the entire bike cost and most people may find different tires would make a bigger difference to ride quality/handling at a lower cost than a carbon fork.

I agree. My list to do would be.
1--- Kick stand
2--- Water bottle cage.
3--- Seat swap or suspension seat (TBD)
4--- Tires maybe?
That is about it
Update... add quick adjuster to seat. So I dont need an allen wrench to adjust seat.

Some people ride and commute on fixies with 44:18 or 46:16 ratio? These bikes at least have 8/9 speeds and a little wider range than that.
There is such a wide range of definitions for commuting, that it will be impossible to cover every use case. This is a lower end general purpose bike. Please keep that in mind. If one wants a dedicated commuter bike, I would tend to agree that a wider range might be more beneficial (as would a better bike overall), but it would depend on that individuals local terrain. If it is mostly flat with minor grades, it may not make any difference. I don't see this as a dedicated, longer distance commuter bike, but more of a low end, general purpose bike for short commutes. My opinion.
As far as the gear # increase from the H1 to H2, I can only speculate that it was done for marketing reasons to further differentiate the two models and justify the price differential between them. The Mezzo components on the H1 are available for 7/8/9 spd, but they chose to go with 8spd, while the Marvo LT shifter on the H2 is only listed on the Microshift site in 9spd configuration and is a decent upgrade over the cheap Mezzo components.

From amazon I went with
BV Adjustable Bicycle Bike Kickstand with Concealed Spring --- in black.
Found some other forum chatter that recommended it. I have no experience with it.
This bike compares somewhat to the Trek FX1 and FX2. The FX1 has a steel fork and the FX2 has an aluminum fork, so when you "upgrade" from FX1 to FX2, there is a weight savings. Both the H1 and H2 have an aluminum fork, so there is no weight savings to be had between them. IMO, this is just a marketing gimmick that Trek does so they can show a "weight savings" and create a difference where one probably shouldn't really exist.
The price difference between the H1 and H2 was $50 at msrp ($40 for this deal). As a bike person, I feel the upgrades offered are worth the price difference. What kind of upgrades were you expecting for $40?

Not holding my breath - FailED EXpectations (FedEx) always makes me cringe

I kind of prefer the red color and the brake and 9spd upgrades seem worth the $40 to me. I'm just looking for something to do with the 9 bafang kits I bought and these bikes seem like the best deal right now, but not sure if I want to downgrade the hydraulic brakes on the H2 or buy the necessary sensors.
