On sale right here on TE is this Pacer. It's already set up the way you want. Snap it up or it may already be gone.

Jamis is a fine bike, but Gunnar's made in the USA. It would be nice to keep a job or two here. This being an international board I've nothing against Chinese products, they make fabulous stuff but when offered a choice I like to get stuff made here.
OTOH since about 1/5th of the weight of the bike is the frame, if you like the ride, feel and fit of the LHT are there upgrades that could lighten it? Lighter wheels perhaps?
