I'm looking at getting one of these two bikes and was wondering if anybody had advise or reccomendations as to which bike they prefer and why. I'm going to be useing it for commuting, regular long distance rides, and touring. I'm looking for a sort of All in one bike and these looked pretty good to me.

Also, if you konw of another bike besides these two that you think is better, that would be great for me to know too.

Thanks,
