Dawes Galaxy 631 vs Surly LHT Frameset

Looking at building a tourer

I like the Surly LHT frameset and it's about £170 cheaper than the Dawes 631 set. The Surly seems lighter too.

They seem highly regarded in the USA, any experiences with this set would be appreciated.

Woollypigs and peliroja over on YACF both have LHTs which seem to get a lot of touring. They've written a review of the bikes here
