Kelleil, do you have bike shops nearby that carry either? Take 'em both out for test rides. I know you might have trouble finding one in your size, but the shop may be able to contact the area representative for the company and arrange to borrow one in your size so you can test it out before buying. (My LBS offered to do that for me with a Specialized bike, though I have the opposite problem in testing bikes. ) They should not expect you to make a major purchase like that without testing it out.
