Boardman SLR 8.6 2021 vs Triban RC500

Hi everyone :) I'm looking to buy my first road bike. I've had a Carrera mountain bike before but wanted something lighter to commute with and use at the weekends. So I was looking at the current deals and came across Boardman SLR 8.6 2021 and Triban RC500. They are both in my budget (within £600), however I can't decide between the 2 of them. I know Triban has really good reviews, however, Boardman has redesigned the new model. Also, Boardman has a women's version and I'm not sure if it's more comfortable than the unisex Triban. Any thoughts, suggestions on which one is best? Or whether there are any better ones out there? Just looking for a bike that's a good value for money. Thanks :)
