Looks nice: It's cheaper than the LHT and comparable spec wise. With the added benefit of being able to run disc brakes, it looks like a very nice alternative.

Looks more like a light tourer. Short chain stays and short head tube.

Seriously, sometimes I wonder if people that design "touring" models have ever ridden or looked at an actual touring frame. Methinks they just throw some eyelets at a bike.
