Hi Drew, I don't have time to read through all the responses but I have had a AHH and now have a LHT. Yes there is a difference. The AHH will be a snappier than the LHT. I always do things backwards :) What I like about the LHT is the 1 1/8 threadless stem. If I ever do a long loaded tour then I have a bike that costs much less so less money hanging in the garage. My brother owned a Sam and it's nice. Not as snappy as a AHH but a great bike nonetheless. Maybe consider one of the other bikes Riv is making now. Anyway enjoy the process.
