of the past few years, I owned an On-One Pomino (SS only), Pake C'mute, Salsa Vaya, and a Soma Double Cross Disc. I finally sold the Soma CX bike and put the money into my Soma Juice. the Juice is an extremely versatile bike. I have fat knobbies, a 120mm fork, 32t ring, and a wide bar/short stem setup for trails, and some lighter tires, alternate cockpit, 38t chainring, and a rigid Salsa fork for gravel/urban adventures.
The Pompino was gear-limted but a good bike for messing about around town. the C'mute was a comfy bike but I got the disc brake bug. The Vaya was awesome but much heavier and slower than what I wanted out of a gravel/commute/road bike. the DCD checked all the boxes except for toe clearance when riding anything remotely technical, maybe because I got it a size too small. I wrote about it in a bit more detail here: http://sidewallthorn.blogspot.com/
