Torn between these 3 gravelbike's , which one will serve my purpose the most?

Hello

I have been riding an old cannondale cyclocross for the past 10 years and i feel its time to upgrade it. I'm an ultra runner who would like to dip his toes in longer rides and small bikepacking rides here in Belgium. So roads will be most of the time gravel and maybe some easy forest trails.

My budget lies really max around 1400€, rather would do for less so i can buy some racks/bags/.. too

I've put my eyes on these three, what are your thoughts from the more experiences bikers here?

Marin Nicasio+ - my favourite to be honest, i love it that it's steel and look so sturdy and nice. The only thing thats holding me off abit is the weight

Or are there any other good options out there?

Thank you!!
