The three versions of the Sam Houston seem to cover the same territory as the Atlantis/Hillborne, Rambouillet and Legolas. The LaSalle Randonneur has the same origins as a VO, Tournesol or Boulder randonneuse, and the city bikes are rooted in very traditional designs. It's pretty hard to find a truly original design for a steel bike frame, so I can't blame the builder for working in styles for which there is an established demand. These all look pretty nice to me, but I'd be aware that this is a very new builder, and would have to take the leap of faith that his bikes are as fully realized as those coming from more experienced designers. I hope he can keep building long enough to get that experience!
