I'm seriously thinking of getting a fuji jari carbon 1.1 for doing brevets and gravel rides. I've seen it for sale on a few German and other Euro sites now. It's got plenty of attachment points for bags and whatnot. The stock gearing on the Jari is pretty much perfect for me and has all the range I'd want and decent enough steps between gears too. I think it's hard to go wrong with ultegra and hydraulic discs too. The geometry doesn't seem too different from what I ride now so that's why it appeals to me, it seems more road-oriented than some gravel and bikepacking bikes that are going more toward MTB geometry. I know there are aluminum/carbon versions of the Jari as well but I don't know how the geometry differs between them but they might be good options if your budget is really firm or you need to buy bags and other stuff too.
