The Vitus Energie VR Cyclocross reads well but personally I am not a fan of the colorway (I know this is the last thing you should probably worry about but you need to love that bike right?). Could just get it custom painted right?
I wouldn't personally say its worth the extra £200 for a worse colourway and rival
The rest of the build is the same.
You could easily buy rival cranks or mechs down the line for less than 200 second hand.
The green is cool
Follwoing all the advice above I found the Vitus Energie Cyclocross Bike (Apex 1x11 -2019) on sale for £749.99
