Despite the weight gain, the bike has gotten both significantly more comfortable, faster and more versatile. I have a second set of wheels running 40mm gravel tires. There is nothing this bike does not do well. On the road, it basically disappears under you. On rough stuff, it provides a level of control and security that allows me to ride events pointed toward dedicated gravel bikes and riders.
That is great input, thanks! I keep going back to the Domane as well; given its relatively mass produced it feels like I can get a good deal on a used one at TPC. There was one that almost checked every box but it wasn't disc so I didn't end up pulling the trigger.
