I think you could make either work for what you want to do and would be a pleasure to own. That said, I would opt for the Susie because of its uniqueness. I can't think of an off-the-shelf frame that offers the combination of design elements that the Susie does using lugs and fillet brazing,

Congrats - new bike day is always the best day. +1 on Toshi's suggestion for a triple crank up front (get a light-ish road crank) with an 11-28 cassette in the rear - that's my setup on my long distance bike. That gives a wider gear range than the wide-low and minimal weight difference because
