I tried the Jamis Coda and the Trek 7.6 last Spring. The Jamis rides smooth as butter!However, for me it felt too tall.
The Trek was a close second in terms of absorbing road buzz, maybe not butter, but ... hm, marzipan? A bit of "graininess", but still sweet. For me the riding position felt more comfortable, so I went with the Trek. I love my Trek, but you would have my blessings to go with the Jamis if that suits you better once you've tried it out. Give them both a ride and see what feels best.

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Yeah, the Jamis do run "tall". I was riding a 50, which was just crazy because normally a 50 would be waaaaaaay too small. I loved that bike, went back and test rode it 2 more times. (then Flossie appeared on the TE "For Sale" forum, and the rest is history!)
Duck, I love your butter/marzipan analogy!
