I love my Swiss Cross Disc. You will be limited in tire to about a 700x40-- I'm running 700x35 Gravelking SKs that mount to exactly 38 wide and there isn't a huge amount of chainstay clearance. Aggressive geometry or not, it is an outstandingly comfortable bike. If you're not deeply attached to the fancy fork, you can replace it with a steel Surly fork-- that's what I did. Picked up the Straggler fork for $70 and managed to sell the WCS carbon fork for $275.

I think that weight is a big overstated, though-- my 59cm build with an anchor-heavy Selle Anatomica saddle, Surly steel fork, and beefy tires on not-lightweight wheels weighs less than 24lbs.
