I'm so glad your first Atlantis ride was a positive one for you and the bike, but not for your now ex-mechanic. The very first Riv I tried was an Atlantis and it was such an "OMG" experience. It is an awesome bike and and I hope you get lots of miles from it and your new knee. Love it with the saddle color and matching XS saddle sack.
My Joe A. rides similar to your Atlantis. I did test a Sam and as I recall, it rode different enough to notice. I would say that the Joe A and the one time I rode the Atlantis felt more like Leah's Clem H and Clem L than it did to the Sam. I know you're looking for a second bike, and I have the feeling the Sam will fit what you're looking for and will make a nice compliment to your Atlantis.
