If you guys had to choose, would you get the K2 Astro 5.0? or the Trek 7.5 fx disc?

The specs for Astral are:
Frame: Reflex Road, butted 6061 aluminum, with flat oval top tube and replaceable hanger Fork: Dynamic Carbon Damping carbon fiber straight blades with chromoly steerer tube Rear Shock: N/A Front Derailleur: Shimano FD-R443, for flat bar road bikes Rear Derailleur: Shimano Tiagra Shifters: Shimano R-440 Rapidfire Plus, for flat bar road bikes Brakes Levers: Alloy MTB levers Brakes: Alloy, short-arm linear pull Chain: KMC Z9000 Crankset: Truvativ Isoflow Road, 30/42/52T Cassette: SRAM PG-950 cassette, 12-26T, nine speed Pedals: Road with steel rear cage, toe clips and straps Bottom Bracket: Truvativ Powerspline, sealed cartridge Headset: 1 1/8" threadless, Intellaset style Saddle: K2 Road Sport, with gel padding and dual material cover Seat Post: Aluminum microadjust, 300mm Handlebar: Alloy flat bar, 580mm wide, with ergonomic alloy bar ends Grips: Dual-density MTB design Stem: Alloy threadless Tires: Kenda Kwest, 700Cx28mm Wheelset: alco DRX 2000 double-wall rims, alloy double-sealed hubs and 32 stainless spokes / wheel Weight: 24.8 lbs.

The specs for Trek are:

The price points to Trek, but I think the components in the K2 may be slightly better... What are your thoughts ?
