I don't either. I can say that when an older rider wants to buy a new F, we will suggest looking at an X. If you have to stack a ton of spacers under the stem of an F to be comfortable, you are better off on an X.
I don't know why they call the X an "allroad" bike. It's not sold as such, or advertised as such. Just because it can fit 35mm tires doesn't make it an allroad bike. It may be a bit less pointy at the head of the spear than an F, but it was designed as a fast road bike, and it rides like one.

Many people buy a racing bike while they actually need an All-Road one. I can remember a man from one of the cycling channels who was cursing himself for buying a "Tadej Pogacar's Colnago" while what he really loved to ride was an All-Road bike at the half of the price
Besides, all major formats of this years Unbound Gravel were won by Specialized riders on Crux 5, not long ago an All-Road bike, now, a racing gravel bike

Returned with Bri to Sunderland point with the intenetion of riding the headland and actually getting to the nuclear reactor.
Imagine getting cut off twice a day
Tide gauge on the house, well theres your problem said the damp course engineer.
Older than Murica
There were lots of these lines of stones
Bri decided to try the sand instead
The Levo glided over this gravel
Much asking of locals pointed us to this footpath
It ran out at a 30ft drop, Bri went for the descent, I rode through the empty caravan site
He pushed 90% of it over mud and boulders
At last, two reactors here which hold the world record for continous operation without shutdown.
They are advanced gas cooled reactors and have made 115Twhs so far, in August 2019 it started making huge bangs as it auto restarted from an electricl fault.
The locals put their heads between their knees and kissed their arses googbye
The cooling water channels are epic, thats a strong flow like a heavy river between large steel walls set in the mud.
The second one looks apocalyptic in person with the desolate background
This is where the large ferries to Ireland and the Isle of Man depart from, rather miserable large scale industrial
The dredger guys were play fighting while the captain waved to us, what jobs some people have

You would never be able to get that close to a nuke in "Murica". Times they are a changing, though.
