In reply to featuresforfeet:
Of those 2 I'd go with the Sonder - they are making a good name for themselves.
However I would question your choice of bike style.... unless you already have other bikes?
It strikes me as the style of bike that wont be great at anything - a bit heavy and lumbering on the road, and next to useless on anything more than a gravel track off-road (you certainly wouldn't want to take one of those for anything other than the shortest distance on bridle paths near me - especially if wet)
If the intention is to go bike packing on it I would think a hard tail MTB would be a better choice - it wouldn't be much worse on-road (with slicks and fork locked) but would be much more capable & comfortable off road.
Edit: also you might still be able to pick up a 2017 model if you look round for ~30% off
