Depending on your usage, and whether solo or two-up, I think you will struggle to better the GS.
I had a NC750 X DCT, so am a DCT fan, so when I wanted something more powerful I had a test ride on the CrossTourer DCT, but found it a nightmare in traffic with the weight and lots of backlash in the transmission making for jerky progress in stop start traffic. Out on the open road it was much nicer, but I still felt it was too heavy. Eventually bought a Versys 1000 instead. I liked that very much apart from the crappy add on gear indicator. Very torquey engine for an inline four with lots of mid-range grunt, and handled nicely too for solo riding. At this point my wife started to ride pillion, which showed up the limitations of the suspension, and also the weight distribution, with I suspect too much of the pillion weight behind the rear axle leading to a scarily light front end at low speeds. I couldn't totally fix this even with a Nitron rear shock to cure the excessive two-up sag. Did a two-up tour of Greece despite the problems, but then changed it for a Triumph Trophy. Never got on with the Trophy, and ended up with the GS which is nearly as much fun solo as the Versys, and is a better two up touring machine than the Versys and surprisingly also better than the Trophy. We both find the GS more comfortable and it has less turbulent airflow for the pillion.
