The Idea would be to get a disc Roubaix and then have two wheel sets. One for pavement and one for gravel / off road rides.

Or Would it be better to get a Diverge and then have two wheel sets. One for Pavement and one for gravel / off road rides?
From reading the spec sheet, it is amazing how close these two bikes are to each other. The only major difference I can see is that the Diverge has about a 4mm lower bottom bracket and 20mm shorter head tube. The head tube difference may be due to different styles of headset. The lower bottom bracket on the Diverge should make it more stable (or more sluggish, depending on your point of view) and certainly gives it a lower stand over height.
