Are you going to tour or do you like the idea of touring but not the practice of?
Neither is really good for training rides...unless you are asking which is good for training to tour, in which case they are the same for that as actually touring. A loaded touring bike on a training ride is the same bike when touring.
If you mean training for fitness...they are both heavier and neither is really good or bad. They will both cause you to work harder, so train harder, than a lighter road bike. If that's what you want, then pick the one that fits best.
You fix up bikes all the time so one in need of overhaul isn't a big deal. And the Cdale is good value for what you get...if younactually plan to use the spare front wheel.
