Frame Upgrade: Surly V. IRO

I'm looking at upgrading my frameset to either a Surly Steamroller or IRO Jamie Roy V up from a Fuji Track.

Now, my Track really isn't very old at all. I only purchased it in May but I'm quickly realizing that it really isn't the kind of bike I'm looking for. I can't afford to have multiple bikes for multiple occasions, nor do I really get out to the track as often as I'd like. What I really need is an all weather bike with tire clearances big enough for knobbies during winter.

I did a little research and found that through my shop I can pick up a Steamroller for about what I'd pay for a Jamie Roy and am looking for some insights. Besides the Jamie Roy being aluminum and having frame/rack eyelets - what other differences/advantages/disadvantages are there?

On a side note:
How much do you guys think a blue 2006 Fuji Track framset would go for?
