My wife and I have the last two.
We refer the manual transmissions as millenial anti-theft devices.
As for disc brakes, I bought my commuter (recumbent) when I was living in Seattle, and I am very glad I went with (cable) Avid BB7s. They work better in the rain than any rim brakes.
When I get my velo in a few weeks, it will have drum brakes on the front.
