The question is, what do you want your new bike to do that one of your current bikes doesn't do, or do well? You may in fact want a Riv, but maybe not a Sam, or maybe not at all. What's you most pressing need? Unless you have lots of money and storage space I wouldnt buy a bike because "they sound great." If most of your riding is your commute, then I'd buy the bike you'd most enjoy commuting on, taking into account the nature of your ride, where you lock it / keep it, etc. If you could commute on a Sam I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy it more than the Velorbis.
