Thanks Owlie and Crankin!

Owlie, I've not been able to test ride either as none of the bike shops I've been to have had the Coda or Allegro available in my size for test riding. One offered to put a Coda together for me just to test and I will probably take him up on that. I agree that the road buzz from the aluminum is one of my biggest concerns.

Crankin, I do have to carry it up three flights of stairs so weight is a factor but I'd like to be able to install a rack and maybe use panniers at some point so I feel like the Allegro is limiting there. The Coda makes me smile too! I don't know why I just keep coming back to it

Thank you both for the advice!
