I know, this can all be very confusing.
If you have specs on each of the bikes, that might help us give a bit of advice.
I haven't heard of either of those bikes... but it doesn't mean much. Sometimes depending on your area of the country... you have different brands to choose from.
I started with a Trek 1000, which was a great starter bike. I have moved up to a Specialized Tarmac and it's a sweet ride!
