I'm trying to find a bike to knock out long (for me) midwest gravel rides. I need something with a comfortable riding position, not real aggressive. I also have a lower back that aches quite a bit that I want to avoid aggravating. I found a decent deal on a 2019 Specialized Diverge E5 Comp for $1,500. From what I've read it seems to be well reviewed. I've been on a Kona Libre that was a great ride, just put of my price range.
