SOMA frames are suited for the street
Soma makes Reynolds steel frames suited for street use.
If you take care of them (rust prevention) they'll last longer than aluminum
Their graphics and paint are more subdued so they don't look flashy to attract attention. A Double Cross would make a fast fun commuter bike.
Perfection is objective. A frame gives you options to tailor made the bike to your needs.
Columbus used to make Metax, a high performance stainless steel tubeset. They stopped though.

The perfect commuter bike is whatever bike motivates you to get on it and commute, whether it's a Muffy, 40 y.o. Hercules, cleaned up vintage Raleigh road bike, or new '04 mid-level road bike that costs more than reason dictates 
. If it does the job and more importantly makes you want to get on it and ride, then it's perfect.
