I'm on the cusp of buying REI's ADV 1.1. It's heavily discounted right now and seems like a pretty good deal at just over $1k USD. It's not really anything "special," but seems decently specced for touring. Are there any other new touring bikes worth considering? The ADV1.1 is approximately $1k USD, Fuji touring disc is $1.5k, and Surly disc is $2k.

At MSRP, there’s nothing that’s going to compare at $1000. On sale, it depends on what old stock your LBSes have and how much they want to get rid of them. But that seems like a smoking deal here in 2025.
I bought my Navarro Randonee from REI in February 2016. It was the last model they made before the Co-op bikes came out. It went down from $1400 in December, to $1100 in early January, $950 later that month and then $750 in February. I bought in Santa Monica Ca. but would look at how many in stock in Washington and Oregon stores so as not to get sold out. They shipped mine from Seattle if I remember correctly and took another 10% off because of a scratch! Good things come to those who wait. Check other REI stores for the inventory on your bike. Good Luck. enjoy
