IF Ti Planet Cross or Moots Psychlo-X?

Trying to decide between an Independent Fabrication Ti Planet Cross and a Moots Psychlo-X hardtail. Will use for mixed road/trail riding and 30-mile round trip commute to work on road and gravel bike trail. Both are great bikes - any thoughts on which might be the better choice? Thanks.

If you're going for the boutique bike, just my personal opinion, but I like the IF Planet-X. IF just has more of a CX race background.

Yeah, Save your money and buy something a little less pricey, something you won't mind getting dirty. Top crossers in our area were riding the new Fuji cross model. They were so inexpensive, one guy actually bought two. And we're talking about guys that can actually race one , not just ride to and fro. Jeff Weinert of Michigan was placing in the top 2 or three in every race he participated in. And it probably will do everything you want it to do as well.
