I would visit my LBS first (who stocks both brands
) and examine/sit on them both before deciding.
Not enough info on you, your riding style, type, preferences to make a recommendation.
And inevitably you'll get lots of alternative brands. Why these two in particular? Etc etc

Or the new Hoy?
Or Domaine?
Shopping at Evans? No thanks
