I think their higher end steel bikes are still Reynolds, and their lower level Coda is 4130 Chromoly. Looks like none of the coda frames are hi-ten steel. Avoid the lower end Jamis Citizens as they're Hi-tensile steel frames.
Realistically, 4130 and Reynolds are not too different in ride and weight unless you get to custom bikes. Don't care too much about "brand name" steel bikes. They're all very similar except for hi-tensile steel. Even then, I've ridden some hi-ten bikes(commuter type bikes) that rode surprisingly well. They're just much heavier in my experience.
