it's nice to have two different bikes, a light singlespeed/fixed wheel bicycle and a sturdy 8 speeds bicycle that can handle whatever you throw at it, incidentally I have a similar set-up (but road bike instead of single speed).
I'm not saying that the steel langster is weak, but I doubt it's a great bike for an everyday ride, the alu langster fit that bill better than the steel one.
Do let me know if you want to buy my 8 speeds internal wheelset, it's cheaper than having to get it build at a shop, especially when it got all the necessary part to complete it.
Right now, you should pop down to Brixton Cycles and talk to them about it, they'll know more about internal hubs and what's the best move for you.
