I was just in your situation and bought the RXM through the Raleigh corporate direct sale. I can't state enough how much I love the bike. I've already put about 60 miles on it and it rides great. There are a few things I would caution again that are not immediately clear from the online listing:

1) The RXM has rear fender eyelets as well as rack eyelets on the dropout. Note that it has eyelets ONLY on the dropout, meaning you'll need to put clamps on the seat stays if you want to fix a rack.

2) The RXM carbon fork doesn't have fender eyelets, so you'll have to use fenders that affix with an elastic band.

3) The Brooks saddle is really solid - no padding at all. It's great but it took some getting used to.

I got it for $1250 and I'm really very pleased with it. I was also looking at the tamland/stuntman, but I disqualified the stuntman based on the weight/1x11 pretty quickly. I wish they had the tamland 2 during the corporate sale because I rather dislike the color on the tamland 1, but I have no doubt the tamland would also be a nice bike, if a little more relaxed than the rxm geometry-wise. The nice thing about the RXM is that it does 90% of what you want to do 75% as well, meaning it can fulfill all of your commuting needs - road bike, gravel bike, etc.
