I have the Blue CXC. Love it. Had steel before. I love steel but I'm small and the bike was heavy. Like, real heavy, hard for me to get over barriers heavy. The steel is more smooth I'd say but the Blue is much more snappy.

The Motobecane Fantom Cross bikes are great. I rode 2 different models over the last 2 seasons. I believe there is a steel model, but they all have brake lever mounted shifters. I bet if you did some looking on Craigslist, roadbikereview.com classifieds and ebay, you'd find a great steel bike with bar end or downtube mounted friction shifters. Of course you could always just add bar end shifters to any bike, but that's something you can decide on.
