Well I don't know how much difference if any the grade of steel would make?
Would take Tiagra over old style 9 speed Sora though, a modern saddle over a brooks. Similarly I'd prefer a compact to a triple, and fully Shimano wheels over whatever Freedom Ryder Trekking 23 rims are. It's got BB7s not BB5s as well. I guess the Raleigh is more full-on touring, the Planet X more all-rounder.
