My $.02: Keep the AHH as is, get a properly sized Cannondale CAAD10 for the fast club rides (when in Rome...) and then get the Hunq which could be for most of your dirt rides and loaded touring. You can ride the AHH in everything in between included mixed-surface rides and supported touring, even some light self-contained. Depending on how fast you ride in the dirt, keep the RH or sell depending on what you find yourself riding (slow dirt = less need for suspension).
