Get the 1x Aspero! Plenty of gearing for hills and more tire clearance and options than the Trek. The Trek is less of a do it all bike. The Aspero can do everything the Trek can plus a lot more.
Also the 1x will have an easier climbing gear than the Trek. Apex 1x has a 40T chainring with the easiest gear of a 42 in the back. The Shimano equipped Trek has a 34T cassette with the easiest gear of 34. Climbing will be easier with Apex 1x. I have Apex 1x with Hydro brakes and it is an awesome groupset.
