I love my Devinci, best all around bike I have ever owned, ++ Canadian made frame. Seriously, get this one, it is essentially what I built mine up to, all this thing needs is a $50 rack everything else is top notch for a commuter:

http://www.devinci.com/bikes/browse_19#19_60_179

I started with the model down, and ended up regretting not getting the higher end cranks, and wheels, so I just finished it off myself with upgrades. The bike has linear pull brakes, which I find more powerful than my hydraulic disks on the MTB. But the big bonus... Full Road gearing, and wheels = 5-8 KP/ higher speeds. Not some BS MTB/road mix. And mans cranks, double, not this hairy fairy triple crap. The bike also weighs just over 20bs. You will not regret that purchase it will keep up with the roadies, and if they are like my LBS, you can get 10% off. The thing kills the 7.5 FX, and that is why I bought mine. It was $300 less, with better performance, and components. Doooo It! Join the Devinci club, there are few of us...it is an exclusive club.

For the record, disk brakes in my opinion are overblown. Plus I cannot stand the ting,ting,ting... sound they make when you corner, or if they get a tiny warp in them. They are awesome for MTB in the mud, but are massive overkill for normal commuting use.
