The Jamis Aurora is a nice fit (I've really been pushing it lately, this is going to be like a copy of my post in another thread ). It's a touring bike, but if you look at it, there is only a slight angle to the top tube. It can be a nice compromise between a too-relaxed touring bike and a too-uncomfortable cyclocross bike:


That said, if the Jake feels good, go for it. I thought about buying one but the geometry just didn't feel great on me. A lot of the time buying a bike is like buying a pair of running shoes: those 150 dollar nikes might feel a lot cruddier than the 60 dollar brooks, just because of how your feet are shaped.
