Being 6'3''and 190 pounds, I'm probably best of with a large and sturdy bike
I'll also ask the shopkeeper if he would be willing to swap some parts out on the Maze. I know they have the wheels in red and black as well, I'd want different handlebars anyway... might be able to make it more to my taste that way
Take some measurements via this fit calculator:

Use the results to compare them to the geometries of the bikes you are considering. If I were you, I'd get the Fuji, as to take advantage of the tax credit. Good luck.
