Interesting that you're concluding that the VO is an out-and-out touring bike... that's not what I've read, or what I read into the specs. Definitely not the conclusion of the reviewer, linked above: "Unlike many touring bikes, it features lively steering that is inspiring to ride unloaded."
Strikes me as a nice do-it-all bike that fits pretty much all my intended applications.
Anyway, it MUST be pretty good... I'm defending a bike I don't even own yet...
