Personally I would go with Nulane. GRX 800 is great groupset. Second pick would be Canyon…

I asked myself the exact same question a few months back. I ordered the Roadlite (6) at a nice discount and it was beautiful and light as a feather. But the riding position was so aggressive, even with a custom stem (60cm, 70 degrees up lol) that I returned it.
Went to the local store and got the Sirrus X 4.0 FE. Still not a completely upright bike, but it’s day and night compared to the Roadlite. I got FE because the model without it was out of stock in my entire area. Even with FE it feels very light. Also, I’m quite happy with the tyre width plus suspension stem. Of course it’s not as comfortable as my gravel bike with a suspension for and wider tyres, but it handles the various city surfaces very well. (Wouldn’t go on trail with it, but light gravel / dirt roads feel totally comfortable.)

Add the Orbea Carpe to that list!

Not sure where you’re from, but I’d say any of them that fits fenders. To me at least, it’s the most important part of a commuter bike.
