Salsa.
What are you talking about? With out any experience your just giving an opinion.
The Tricross is a great all rounder. I use one as my car replacement bike, it takes me to work, getting groceries, hauling crap, off road, you name it it does it.
Here it is hauling the recycling. The Tri-x is very much a tool, very applliance like. It does whatever is asked of it.
I use the Masi more for long rides. It has a longer wheelbase and just kind of steam rolls along. I like riding it more than the Tri-x because the steel frame gives a better ride than aluminum. I ride the Masi simply for pleasure. It's likely the very same steel as the Salsa.
