It all depends on your goals. That looks like it has a lot of good features for a commuter. The belt should be interesting to try out, as well as the generator light and discs.

But it all comes at a bit of a price. Accoriding to this review, the bike comes out at 29.8 lbs

That is a pretty hefty bike, but I assume that includes fenders, dynamo, and internal geared hub.

I'm not sure I'd spend $1500 on a bike with the wrong rear hub. The number of gears and range all depends on where as well as how you ride.
