Ditto the above- but if those are the choices, get out and try them. Here's the key: pay attention to how you're treated at the bike shop. As others have said, you'll probably be shopping for another bike soon. You want to have a good working relationship with the shop so that you can learn what would make the second bike closer to what makes want to ride.

FWIW: I've been riding bikes for 40-odd years. Add to that a 15 year career in the bicycle business, and you'd think I'd know what makes me happy. Nope. Still trying different things.
