Nice dilemma.
How heavy is the touring likely to be? And how rough might any off or gravelly road be? How hilly your longer rides?
I've a 2014 cdf 725. Love it. Got it down to 9kg. I do almost everything on it. Winter, summer and occasional trail centres. It's solid and comfy. Would be fine for light touring at this setup and wheel strength. I do however pine for something lighter on the hills as that's where I have to dig deeper.
If no rough/tough stuff equilibrium.
If a bit lumpier and fuller touring cdf.
Coin toss is a good way to test out your head/heart.
