I was considering a Domane Gravel or a Diverge before I decided to go with a cross bike. Sounds like it was a good buy for you. I didnt catch the front Isozone difference. If the Passport was out in January I may have considered it but what ultimately drove me to a cross bike was the 1X, light weight, and the price. I got a Boon 7 for $2000.00.
