Also I haven’t even done any sort of a real gravel ride, so I’m not really sure what I’m getting into. What’s a quick-ish pace off road? On the roadie I’m usually in the 30-35km/h average, how much slower is gravel riding?

For the Ghost you'll still be around 27-30, the Rustler I think you'll be fine around 26 or so. You'll have just under 700 meters of elevation vs the long version is closer to 1600. A five hour time gets you top 20 in the Range at around 25km/hr. Both would be a blast if it rained
