Both are fine bikes, and probably well more than adequate to your needs.
It's not so much about the bike per se as having it set up to meet your needs and preferences. Things like adequate gear range, the right handlebar choice, a comfortable saddle, and good fit and riding position are all far more important than the bike itself.
No bike is ideal for everything, but there's plenty of latitude, so buy according to how you'll use it the most, and it'sll serve the other needs fine, though maybe not as perfectly as might otherwise be.
It's like being a one car family. You want an SUV for the family taxi service, a more economical car for the one person commute, something sportier for fun Sunday drives. So you buy the one that can do all of those things, even if it's overkill for some of them.
