Hi Kelly, Maybe you can put a bigger rear rack on the AHH and you could carry pretty much as much as you need short of a huge unsupported tour using rear panniers.
In terms of design, ideally in my mind, maybe a little more clearance to allow 42s with fenders would be best, but as William pointed out, the 38 Lierres may be just as good, and I can vouch that the PariMoto tires are also very nice. I currently ride my AHH with Soma Xpress tires for a little more toughness with my luggage etc., and am quite satisfied. They aren't big apples, but compared to what many other touring bikes would fit, they're pretty cushy.
