Why don't you want a road bike? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I don't understand the idea of these flatbar roadbikes. If you're doing long distances you are going to want multiple hand positions. If you go with the flatbar you'll have to add bar-ends just to get another hand position.
If you're looking at a Jamis dealer, I think both the Nova and the Aurora are better choices. The Coda is a nice bike, probably the nicest spec'd hybrid that I know of, but I think a dropped bar bike is a better choice. The handlebars on the Nova and Aurora are set high for comfort but you still have the drop section for when you need to be more efficient.
