Also looks like the Spec has hydro discs vs rim brakes on the Trek. If you ride under wet conditions the discs are better, but it'll make the bike heavier than the rim-brake counterpart.

Edit:
As a second bike, I'd probably choose the Trek seeing how you already have the FX as a first bike with disc brakes already.
