The Jamis has a better drive train Deore over Altus. And a better fork with slightly more travel. I don't know much about the frame quality. You're asking for a bike that will do two very different things drops vs road so whatever you get will get torn up, good road bike doing a lot of drops or will be uncomfortable, good drop bike doing a lot of road. Makes it a tough call.
