I,m not too happy with the shifting on the Gossamer Crankset, aside from that my Focus CX bike has been great. Very sturdy and comfortable frame on the entrylevel Cx-bikes. I think German bikes on the whole are better than their given credit for. Canyon (onlineshop only) makes great bikes and they are in TDF as well now. The bike you are looking at has a great price for what you get IMO.
