Drew, Of course you’ll notice a difference. Next question? Grin.
The only way to answer your question is to ride an AHH and/or Sam, be that as a bike you buy or try. There is, however, a reason Surley is called a poor man’s Rivendell. There are geometry similarities between some of the Surly lineup and Rivendells, especially in the touring area, but differences in tubing, various specs, etc make for a big difference in ride feel. Will that difference be significant enough for you to be delighted you spend more to get a Sam or AHH? That is a querry only you can answer. May I suggest saying where you live and asking if anyone has a Riv in your PBH range near you you could try?
