I dug around a few months ago, and though I did not need another bike, I found that I liked the Civia listed
here, with MSRPs (also mentioned above by alev). I saw a LBS using the Civia Alfine build model as rentals, and when I asked them why, they simply said 'less maintenance'.
Koga Miyata makes a nice handmade bikes like you are looking for, but their models I am thinking of mostly come with Magura hydraulic rim brakes or roller brakes instead of discs -- see
here and
here -- and Kogas are available in the USA at Commuter Bicycles in Santa Barbara, CA, but the weak dollar is making it tough for importers to compete (but they do).
Good luck.
