The Genesis flyer is on at £399 in Cycle Surgery at the moment - could be worth a test ride.
Also, fixed is not really that big a deal. If you fancy it then go for it; I went SS on a flip-flop hub (freewheel on one side, fixed on the other) to begin with and regret it. If I had got a fixed-fixed hub to begin with, I would be able to run two different fixed gears easily.
After about 5 days of riding fixed, and one big descent, you will be completely at home...
