I'm looking at getting a new bike for commuting sometime either this fall or next spring (trying to get my budget squared away before dropping $$$$ on a new bike). I've been fairly set on a CX bike since there are some rough roads on my route and they just seem like a versatile platform, but I was wondering how they compare to touring bikes? I'm looking for a good compromise between speed, comfort, cargo, and the ability to ride a variety of surfaces. I'm not looking to do any racing or break any records but I also don't want my 10 mile 1-way commute to take forever either.

Can anyone give me any insight into the pros and cons of these two platforms?
