The Globe is a fine commuting bike but you are kind of asking on the wrong forum. There is a commuting section on BikeRadar so maybe try there for suggestions.
Go to Evans/Cycle surgery near Liverpool st and try something out, you never know, maybe after all this you'll end up with pashley princess. god knows! (He does as well, though obviously god only rides fixed.)
Then Buy it from somewhere else if you don't like the price.
