What Cyclo Cross Bike

Was wanting a Kona Jake the Snake, but cannot get discounted one in my size, so therefore will have to consider other types.
It will be mainly for commute - 7.5 miles each way, mostly on roads but do go off tarmac onto canal paths and other tracks, but nothing too heavy. Wish to put road tyres on it, and use as a longer distance road bike too. (I have a Kona Caldera at the moment with slicks)
Any suggestions for suitable bike? Budget open, but less than £700 would be good.
