If it was me in your situation, I'd want to actually ride both bikes. I get the feeling they are both good quality machines, so I'd base my decision purely on two factors:
* How it looks
* How it felt when I rode it

I bet they have different slightly different geometry and one of them will fit you better than the other.

I justify my decision to partially base purchasing decisions on how a motorcycle looks based on what one of my instructors said. He said if you have a bike that you think looks nice, you'll be more inclined to keep it clean and well maintained and enjoy doing so.
