My current bike is set up with a stem extender. I'm not sure if adding that to the Surly would bring it up high enough, but I'm guessing it'd work on the Soma.
I should probably be considering touring frame geometry as well, but I just really like having a 'cross frame and being able to ride anywhere.

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Knot is wise. Spacers are your friend. I've posted a picture of mine here somewhere. My bars are basically level with my saddle - I ride a 52 normally, but have a 50 cc because of the top tube length.

Actually, I think I've got spacers in addition to the stem extender on my Specialized (can't remember, will have to look when I get home), which has the same 110 head tube length as the Soma. I think my fitter did everything he could to get the bars as high as possible and they're currently just slightly higher than my saddle.
This is my current set-up, a 49cm Tri-Cross, and I'd need to go down to a 42cm Double Cross with adjustments to approximate the same:
