Paul, Yes, do go to RivHQ and do some test rides. As others have noted, the overlap among the bikes is significant enough that the opportunity to ride the bikes will make your decision easier.
My Sam and Atlantis feel like they weigh about the same (both set up with racks and baskets). There are some small differences in handling. Both delightful rides though. You may prefer one over the other so make that trip to Walnut Creek!
