Of course you should test ride anything, but I think the Jamis bikes are well worth a look. Good luck!
Do you have the Femme model? I ask because I'm considering getting a Quest Femme this year as my first non-vintage-non-craigslist roadbike (I started a thread about it a while back). I haven't ridden a Femme yet but I rode the 51cm "men's" model and it was a bit too long for me in the top tube--I'm a little on the leggy side, but not super disproportionate. I considered the Satellites (which, as you've pointed out, have the same geometry), but I'll have a bit of a windfall from my summer job and I think I'm just going to go all in on the better components.

Juliegoddess, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see what you end up with... have fun with your search!
