Hello all,

I haven't been here for over 10 years as last time you guys adviced me and it worked great. This time, I'm facing new dilemma so would need a little help/feedback to pick the right thing, please.

I try to keep it brief for now.
Last time I got Marin Bolinas Ridge bike and was super happy with it. It was the best bike I've had as before I had some ****** 'kids' bikes when I was growing up as we had no money. That Marin was fantastic (and still is as my sister now uses it).
Now, I would like to get a bike for myself. Originally, I wanted to get mountain bike as that is what I'm used to but after talking to some friends they mentioned that I would be better off with gravel/hybrid bike instead.
My usage is mostly city during the week and then some out of city trails with gravel paths usually. For that I agree that mountain would be too much work as I don't do jumps, crazy downhill etc. (also as a group we are more into fun than competitive speed etc.)
So I started looking into gravel/hybrid bikes and kinda narrowed it down a little bit and I need help here as I have no clue about components etc. please.

My favourite candidate is Pathlite 7 (https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/hybrid-...rahmenfarbe=BK)
Second option would be Pathlite 6 (https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/hybrid-...nfarbe=GY%2FBK)
and third maybe Roadlite 8? (https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/hybrid-...rahmenfarbe=GY)

The only thing about Roadlite 8 is that maybe its too focus on the road and the gravel might not be a good choice and seeing that MTL roads are so messed up with holes perhaps Roadlite is not a good candidate but I just wanted to throw it here for opinions, please.

Do you mind sharing feedback, please? How much better is the Pathlite 7 compared to 6? The components seem to be very similar and the nuances I don't know about probably make the difference.

Any feedback/advice is appreciated.
