I'm looking for a touring bike (under $2000 price range).
Any recommendations?
Any opinions on the most important and/or preferred features?
Most bike shops that I've been to in my area don't seem to carry many
strictly touring bikes. Some that I've seen in the bike shops include:
Cannondale T1000, Trek 520, and the Trek 2120. One bike shop that did
seem to have a pretty extensive collection of all types of bikes, also
would build custom bikes (but would likely be a tad expensive ;-).
I would appreciate any recommendations and/or input on good/bad
experiences with particular touring bikes/features.
Thanks.

I would recommend the Surly Long Haul Trucker with disc brakes. See https://surlybikes.com/bikes/disc_trucker. These are about $1600 so they are within your price range.
