I’ve got the 2014 Croix De Fer and love it. I do about 150 miles a week commute on road and canal towpath. It’s my first road/CX bike so I was a bit worried how it was going to be on the unmade paths but it’s so comfortable and surprisingly fun. I obviously can’t compare it with anything else but I’m very happy with it. I also thought about the Orange RX9 but glad I went for the steel frame.
It’s a 54 and weighs about 25lbs with pedals.
