I suppose this comment is a bit late, but I ride a 2008 Coda Sport, and it's a great bike for the rides I do (which sound similar to the rides you want to do). It's not a super aero position, nor is it super upright, but I suppose that will depend on the size you get versus the size you are...

The only negatives are the suspension seatpost, which you'll probably replace (or tighten so much that there's no suspense) and the handlebars were a bit wide for what I see as a city bike (nothing a minute with a hacksaw won't fix).
