Typically that's the case. 1200 gram difference would seem to be a lot of small differences though, given the groupset is the same. As mentioned, maybe it could be the bike frame sizes that each brand uses for it's complete weight.
EDIT.. this review:

says CDale weight for their tested 51cm bike was 19.64lbs, which in my mind is a small.

Understood. Using a couple different geometry calculators, looks like SizeL would work great.

I love my Canyon but would be hesitant to get another because customer service is not great. My small CF8 did come in at what Canyon said it would weight wise.
Not sure if this is the same wheelset, but I used the 1650g number listed in this review:
