This recent post by Jan may help answer your question: https://janheine.wordpress.com/2018/03/06/how-are-compass-tires-different-from-panaracers/
If you haven’t ridden Compass tires before, you owe it to yourself to experience them so you have a benchmark for what a premium, supple tire rides like and how it performs for the riding you do. It may not work well or long because of _____ (some sort of additional protection required, which always comes at the cost of smooth, cushy ride). But that way you’ll understand why you thus choose to ride whatever you ride. If knowing that isn’t high on your list, then I’d go with the Gravel Kings and be done. They are beefier, heaftier rides to the Compass, built by the same people. As Jan puts it, the VW and the Bugatti engine both come out of the same factory, but are very different engines. Grin.
