To me the main benefit of the CX bike would be the ability to do crushed limestone paths comfortably, such as the Katy Trail here in Missouri and I suppose it would be more comfortable touring. I think you would sacrifice a bit of speed on the open road, though not much. I did not ride a Secteur or Roubaix, which I understand is a road bike with a bit longer geometry and a bit softer ride.
