the pic of my advantage is just as i received it, fresh out of a garage. yours has a more slopping top tube, which might suggest a later model year.

2010 Jamis Coda Elite with modifications. Reynolds Cro-Moly Frame. I notice a far smoother ride than a lot of aluminum Hybrids I test rode.

Most frame materials these days are quite good! Of course, I'm partial to steel road bikes, though I do own two aluminum framed bicycles as well. I only do long distances on my trusty ole Fuji Touring bicycle.

I rode a few lightweight aluminum frame hybrids and road bikes this year, at least two with carbon fiber forks, before buying an older chromo hybrid/1990s mountain bike. Can't say I felt any differences that couldn't be attributed to the tires, wheels, frame geometry or factors other than the material. My other bike is aluminum but it's a massive frame comfort hybrid with spring suspension fork and the ride is so different the material doesn't matter.

I've had my 1992 Specialized Crossroads since... well, 1992. I don't know when they switched the Crossroads from Cro-Moly to Aluminum, but it was after I got mine.

I recently upgraded from a Specialized Sirrus to a Salsa Vaya. Has a few extra pounds to it but a significantly more comfortable ride. Been very happy with it so far.
