The Felt has a nicer looking crank, modern threadless headset and stem, fenders, front rack and frame bag. The Linus has larger tires (and no doubt more tire clearance in the frame), and 3-speed SA IGH. But it also has a 1" threaded quill stem, which may be a plus to some or a negative for others. As others have said, I would probably go for the Linus for the gearing and lower price, then use the money saved to add fenders and probably a rear rack.
