I hope your joking! Those bikes are too similar that it is a waste of money to buy them both. Pretty easy to tailor the Trek to your liking with a lot less coin. I find that over time, my preferences for setup changes anyways. What fits you on a test ride may not be what you want going forward. To me, if the bike is ballpark in the right size, that is good enough.
