For example, for about $100 more, there is the Speed P8, which is a really sweet bike. It has a rear derailleur (8 speeds), not an IGH, but a rear derailleur is not hard to maintain anyway. Don't be afraid of it. Plus, with a quick release skewer, it's easier to get the wheel on/off in case you get a flat.

If you really want an IGH bike, then another option is the Citizen Alhambra, which has a 3-speed Nexus hub, and is $400. I don't own a Citizen bike, but people who have given feedback on this forum seem to be generally pleased with them.
