Hi Waffey: I think you have got to a good conclusion!
When I started off for West Africa I agonised (as you are doing) over whether to bring my trusty 1150GS or my KTM690 enduro. Then my wife said...if you want me to come travel part of the route with you, it's got to be the big old GS!
In the event I rode 40,000kms around the circumference of Africa on the GS, and only dropped it once...in deep sand riding 2 up
Just one caution...the Armenian roads were terribly potholed (in 2015 mind you) so watch where you go
