Top Vintage Sport Touring / Rando Bikes of the 1980s

As the title suggests, I'm looking to buy a sport touring frame from about the mid 1980s or so (could be older, could be new) but that's about the target for a steel lugged beauty that I can use to commute to/from work with panniers, but also feel 'racy' when I want to strip the bags off. So what are the 'best' frames of that era for sporting and touring? I will admit that I'm a sucker for any frame with chrome luggs... So far my list is below in no particular order - feel free to recommend stripping one model off or adding one I haven't considered.

Miyata 610 or 1000
Fuji S12S or Finest
Univega Specialissima or Gran Turismo
Raleigh International
