Rodeo Labs makes a nice one as does Niner

There's really quite a lot of steel options once you get away form the big 3 as you say, and many that don't break the bank. Some easier to find than others of course:
Kona (always some steel in their lineup)
Salsa (same as Kona)
All City
Surly
Black Mountain
Niner
Bombtrack
and then of course many smaller frame builders, but then things can start getting more pricey--Breadwinner, Chumba, and so on....
Specialized does have the Sequoia though, which is a great bike.
