Was told at the bike shop that cyclocross bikes can put up with a lot like a hardtail, but the weight of a road bike.
Thoughts?

If you're not planning on doing DH or all-mountain trails, the cyclocross bike will be faster on the road and on relatively smooth cross-country tracks.
It's basically a beefier road frame. It depends on your riding plans as well. Though, I'd definitely get one with disk brakes on it.
