I've had an Atlantis since '03 but have never ridden the Sam. With a
light wheelset the Atlantis is surprisingly responsive & quick for a
touring bike. I prefer my 40 mm tires on Mavic A719 rims for comfort
but I do work harder on that set-up.

If you are coming off a race-y bike to a Sam or Atlantis, either will feel
sluggish. IMO there's not a ton of difference between the two in terms of
quickness or the perception of quickness.
