I had a Jamis Quest, loved the ride, but it wasn't a good fit. When you first started looking at these bikes, I posted how I thought it was more of a racing geometry and knotted indicated that the one she tested had the seat higher than the bars. I looked at the Quest vs Aurora geometry and sure enough, they are slightly different. I'm no expert, but I would caution you on test riding a Quest and thinking the Aurora would be the same. I don't think they are.
