I'm not expecting the Pacer to ride any better. But I would expect it not to have some of the same niggles (since it has vertical dropouts, external top tube cable bosses, etc). I don't think there's a new Osprey on the way (in the sense of a practical road bike with mudguard clearances, rack mounts etc.) and to be honest I don't think I could afford a new one anyway. The Surly is pretty cheap.
I dunno, I'm very undecided, just thinking out loud. The vast majority of my riding time is on this bike at the moment and certain things are irritating me just a tiny bit every time. If I wasn't swapping the wheels over so often it wouldn't be so bothersome.
