HELP which Gravel Bike should I buy?

Hi all,

I am thinking of either getting a Genesis CDA10 or an Octane One Gridd Flat Adventure Bike - I was going to buy a Boardman adv 8.6 but my cycle voucher cant be used at halfords

can anyone give me some advise and recommendations, I was to commute on road but also be able to use the bike for a Gravel paths on the weekend (that said I do own a Specalized Hard rock pro)

I have a set of cleets and pedals but havent used them on the MTB was thinking of using for the new bike.

My voucher is £650 but could go £750 ish if the company excepts cyclescheme .

Between the two bikes named I would get the Genesis. It's a 2x which is better for the road. Definitely use your pedals on the new bike. How much more would a steel genesis be verses the aluminum?

I think its another £280 which would be out of my budget
