I tried a Specialized Dolce Elite today (same size frame) which had the gear integrated into the brake rather than having a thumb shift. It felt much more comfortable to ride and brake so one of those may be in my future - it's just a pity that it's several £££ more than I intended.... oops!
Did try a Trek Lexa (apparently the 1.2 WSD is no more) and while it felt about the same as the Specialized, it didn't look as good; stylised flowers - yuk!
