I know nothing of the top choices but Jamis bikes are good bikes. I also like the components on the Jamis better. But really each has nearly the lowest of heirarchy of parts.
If you have a small bit more budget you would be able to get more bang. But if this is the absolute max. budget then I would go with Jamis.
