Trek 720 multitrack any good?

Asking fir adivce. Im planning to do bike touring next year. Iv never been touring and wanted someting that can do it all. Is this bike worth a 100$ ?

Is it a good base for future improvements? Is it too heavy ?
I know its a solid base, but iv never owned a Trek hybrid, I have lugged lightwheight steel.

Im am bitween this trek 720 and a yellow Schwinn high sierra 86

Thanks in advance
