New Bike: Sportive Carbon w/ room for 28c: Raleigh, Specialized, other?

Hello,
Looking for a new full carbon frame/bike next year. Mix of mostly pavement and some gravel so I want a road geometry (NOT cross) with room for 28c tires on average width rims. The manufacturers seem to be way too gun shy about listing tire size compatibility so it's hard to know. For peet's sake, just list it as "most" 28c tires!

Anyway, the Spec Roubaix and the Raleigh Revenio seem like good options. Slightly taller head tube and more upright position is good for my older back/neck. Any other "endurance", "comfort", "sportive" bikes I should be looking at? Specialized are overpriced, IMHO.
Di2 frame compatibility essential.

Coming from a Kuota Kharma that BARELY fits 25c. The bike has been great.
Thanks!
