With roughly similar geometry, stack/reach params, perhaps ...

Velo-Orange Piolet -- 4130 double-butted chromoly steel; 29x2.4", 27.5x3.0" (M, L, XL), or 26x2.4" (S); 3 water bottle mounts on frame, 2 on fork blades. About $725 for the frame+fork.

Kona Rove ST -- Kona proprietary butted chromoly steel; 650x47mm; 3 water bottle mounts on frame. About $600-700 for the frame+fork.

Kona Rove LTD (2018 MY) -- Reynolds 853 butted chromoly steel, with carbon fork; 650x47mm; 3 water bottle mounts on frame. (Not in the 2020 MY line-up. And fairly spendy as compared to the Jamis entry considered in the OP. Was ~$1500 for frame+fork.)
