I am looking to buy a gravel/allroad bike to encourage me to cycle more during the winter months and would be grateful for help in choosing between the following (or anything similar you can recommend)...
Orbea Terra M41e TEAM 1X - https://www.orbea.com/gb-en/bicycles/road/terra/cat/terra-m41e-team-1x-2023
Cube Nuroad C:62 SLX - https://www.cube.eu/uk-en/cube-nuroad-c-62-slx-olive-n-green/9a763ca0aa943cceb50ca0a0e391e0d5
Both are currently on sale for around £2,750. I won't be hitting any serious gravel and it will be used more as a winter road bike with detours offroad to avoid car drivers. My thoughts are to use 38mm tyres with fenders.
The spec of the Cube looks superior, but I think the Orbea has a slightly better frame and would be a more aggressive/faster ride (especially if I later upgrade the wheels) so could be a better longterm option.
Many thanks.

Thanks Oxoman. I think I prefer the gearing on the Orbea as won't be doing anything highly technical that requires the 40 x 50. Both bikes are available in my size with my LBS ad fit me fine, hence being the 2 i've been considering.0
