Mike Schiller: thanks for this; beautiful bikes btw. We'll see what has to give. I can live with TCO - have in the past, even with fixed gears in urban traffic, so it's not impossible. But I'm confident that Chauncey can come up with the best solution.
Mike (Shaljian): thanks for the additional information on the Jones Plus. Your high opinion, and the other positive reports, make me take it seriously. I plan to have Chauncey do the build, but I'll mention the Jones Plus to him. I wish I had the money and time to try all sorts of options, but I have to stick with what I am most familiar with and can afford, and with what I know -- or think I know -- works for my type of riding. But the comments certainly do provide additional grist for the mental mill, and have made me "fine tune" my own analyses and the resulting goal, which is now leaning ever more toward the "road bike" side of the table. If this means, eventually, 650B, or even 559 (what with the new Compass tires), so be it. So please keep the ideas coming!
