I've tried the Waterford version (same company).
It's very rugged. Most touring bikes have some flex in them.

An overly stiff frame is not an asset on tour unless you are a very heavy rider with a very heavy load. You do need a frame that is stiff enough for your specific case, but I'd caution against buying the stiffest frame possible unless you need it. The ride quality and performance will suffer.
