The canyon has a 1 1/4" (1.25") steerer tube. This will make replacing the stem more difficult because almost all other brands use 1 1/8 (1.125"). Ritchey makes a stem for 1 1/4" steerer tubes if you get the canyon and need to replace the stem.
I'm also skeptical of the integrated seatpost clamp, but that's just a gut feeling rather than personal experience.
Also consider the kind of riding you really want to be doing. Are there even rougher trails you would like to get on if your bike could handle it? If so a hardtail mountain bike is worth considering.
Oh good calls on the steerer tube and the seat post. I'll keep them in mind.
