Re:

That is a fanastic looking bike, othe than the saddle. You need something that says "I am racer" (forget comfort looks are everything ).

You certainly like your small frame Kona's, can I be rude and ask how tall you are? I only ask incase I am missing something, and perhaps I could broaden my horizons (or reduce them LOL).
