This is the first time that I have posted since it is really the first time that I have had something to add.

I have a TriCross Sport with the triple up front. I love the bike. I have a 12.25 mile commute each way and it gets me there. There is enough room to run fenders, racks, lights, and it is very comfortable for me. I run the stock 700x32 wheels that came with the bike right now and they do fine for me. I cannot really compare it to anything since this the first "real" bike that I have had. My last bike (now my grocery getter) is a Fuji Crosstown 2.0.

I can also tell you that I just started commuting and I am a fair weather commuter so I cannot tell you how the bike performs in adverse conditions. I can say that on my commute, past some farm lands, having the drop handlebars really helps since there is a bit of wind that comes across the field.
