Take a look at the
Redline R530...I just bought one an am very impressed. Only down side is that it doesn't come with the lights.
Breezer is another you should look at too. I believe the Breezer Citizen or Villager is in the price range. I bought the Redline because I couldn't find a stocking Breezer dealer within a 12 hour drive! The Redline doesn't come with lights, but you can get a pretty decent generator set from
Velo-Orange or create your own setup (which is what I am doing). I paid right at $600 for the bike, by the time I am done with all the pimping and upgrades I will be sitting at just shy of $1000. But that includes some high dollar stuff, like LED Headlight, Brooks Saddle and a set of Basil Karavan Panniers ($175 by themselves
