The new specialized globe has a derailleur system, not an internal hub. I've got a Trek L-400, it's a really nice bike, but I've also got friends that are crazy about the Breezers. Several differences between these two bikes:
Breezer - 26" wheels, better headlight (B&M oval) and dynohub (3.0 watt), non-adjustable stem.
Trek L-300 - 700c wheels, adjustable stem, not so good headlight (beam isn't focused well), more effort to remove rear wheel due to fully enclosed chainguard, may only have 2.4 watt dynohub rather than 3.0 watt (?) - this means you can't run both a taillight and a headlight off of the dyno.
You should also be able to get a Kettler in the US, but dealers are hard to find, I ordered one for my wife direct from the distributor a few years ago, not sure you can still do that. Might be out of your price range, too.

Biria is also importing bikes in this style to the US.
