I think you've said it well here. I also have a Saluki and use different wheelsets/tires for a wider range of purpose too. I can't quite make it into an Atlantis, but with sturdy wheels and 40 mm tires it can go lots of places. I took it on tour this year with about 40 lbs of gear (5 front, 35 rear) With lighter wheels and 32 mm pumped up tires, and no luggage, it's reasonably quick. So, there is overlap based on equipment with each bike, but each bike has a range that the others do not extend all the way to. The current line up seems wider as you say, and has some excellent offerings, but those of us with passe model names need not fret. Our bikes will keep up with the new models just fine.
