Well, not really; although I sometimes think that I should've gotten a 'cross bike instead of my CAAD8 (mainly because of how often I ride it instead of my "city bike"), most of those bikes in your list lack mounting points for racks & fenders. That's not always a deal-breaker, of course, thanks to P-clips and such, but it's one strike against many cross bikes.
