Good price, but 11-36 (i.e., typical mtb gearing) only. Also, I'm only sharing my own experience here, but SRAM cassettes and chains just don't shift as smoothly as Shimano and KMC respectively.

Some other deals:
Shimano 105 5700 11-25 10 speed cassette $25 [rei.com]

KMC X10SL Silver 10 speed chain $24 [rei.com]

KMC X10SL Gold 10 speed chain $27 [rei.com]
Cough cough, it is "gravel" gearing in the 2020s, thank you 😉

My gravel bike is 11-42T btw, and my MTBs are 10-51T...although I punish myself on my SS "stuck" at 21 or 23T.

Quote from cacadiablo :
Question for the bike crowd: How good are gravel bikes compared to road bikes for road riding / touring? I know they won't be as good, but is the difference significant?

I am just a recreational rider and I can't justify getting both a gravel and road bike. I would guess that I would do 80-90% on road for non-mountain biking and use my XC bike on anything resembling mountain biking or probably gravel roads as well. Maybe I just answered my own question.

I know gravel bikes are relatively new to the bike industry, but are they basically designed primarily for gravel roads?

Thanks in advance for your input.
The term gravel bikes covers way too many bikes. It means everything from any old mountain bike with a steep head tube angle to purpose built drop bar bikes. As such, they are marginally worse to way worse than a road bike for road biking. With that said, I think a gravel bike is probably the right bike for most people. It's the most ideal bike if a person can only have one bike. For your purpose, it sounds ideal. You'd want to get one that favors the road a little more than the dirt.

You could probably ask your LBS or any of your cycling friends for worn cassettes. Much cheaper - just have to clean them (you'd have to clean the preserv oil off these anyway).

Advisement taken. I ordered a new (2022) Cannondale Trail 5 $679 from REI. Microshift drivetrain, hydraulic brakes and the 1x crankset with the 10 speed cassette. 1 year worth of unlimited free tuneups.

Concur with @LaughinGass, thin slicks will get you most of what you need if you're not planning on competing every weekend. Typical gravel geometry will slow you down a bit (more upright, less aero) and it will be a bit less responsive.

Important note on the gearing though - depending on your typical speed and elevation profile, you may need a larger chainring up front to avoid spinning out. Some gravel frames will limit you on chainring clearance, so keep an eye out for that.

The days of 100+ psi are behind us, unless your weight requires it. https://silca.cc/pages/sppc-form

Recommend searching Google - this question gets asked and answered quite a bit by reputable sources.
Not sure what you mean there...higher pressure = less flex on the sidewalls = lower rolling resistance. Facts of physics don't change just because it's 2023.

Also, I've got a medium build for my frame, and your calculator puts me at 108 PSI on 25mm tires.

Does the derailleur matter at all? If the cassette is the same width, wouldn't it have the same end-to-end travel, and the only thing you need to change is the shifter itself?

Quote from LaughinGass :
In my experience, 80% of the advantage is in the tires...run slicks at high pressure (100+ PSI) on the road, and wider, lightly knobby tires for gravel at lower pressure (maybe 50 PSI). You can either swap tires (takes 10-15 mins every time) or better, get a spare set of wheels and keep them ready.

With the spare wheels, as long as the cassette has the same # of gears, you shouldn't need to do any derailleur adjustments, and you can put smaller gears for the road wheel/tire set (usually you can go faster on roads).

I have never owned a dedicated road bike, I have a mid 2000's Gary Fisher hardtail with V-brakes that I wore the original rims out on (popping spokes left and right) that I upgraded with some sunlite wheels with XTR hubs a few years ago, still rides like new despite probably 4 or 5k+ miles (only a small portion of that gritty off-road/mud) on it (original cassettes, chain, etc.).
Thank you!

If anyone is still looking at this expired deal thread, what do you think of this gravel bike by 951 sold at Costco?:

Pull ratio and increments
Unless you have a friction shifter, each up or down on the shifter translates to a specific distance the derailleur moves. If they don't match, you'll miss and/or be between gears. You can set it up to hit top and bottom, maybe also next to one of them, but in between will be a nightmare.

I always believed that sidewall flex was the key, flex of lower pressure being an absorption/loss of energy, but they've studied the actual resistance, plus, aero, and found sweet spots are at lower pressures.

I had as low as 18 on my 650c and 23 on my other roads, but 25 hits about right.

Like I said, besides the shifter...why would one need to change the derailleur?

I can tell a big difference between 80 psi and 100. One pedal stroke and I will coast farther at higher pressure. I'm not sure who "they" is, but no way would I run 25 psi on a street tire. I can't help but feel like you're either trolling, or weigh 50 lbs.
