If I wanted a new steel road bike in that price range, that's what I would do because I think the road logic looks great.

$1900 seems high for old 10-speed Ultegra, which is a significant step down from the 11-speed versions (or even 11 speed 105 IMHO), but other than that the Jamis Eclipse is a very nice bike.

For the record, I built my Road Logic 2.0 for around $2400 (including wheels), with full Ultegra and WCS level Ritchey Components.

EDIT: Although I'll point out that the wheels on my bike are nowhere near as expensive at the Ritchey Zeta's that come on that Eclipse.
