I think it's always a guess which one you'll prefer and do better on. Since no one here knows any of your past cycling history and details of why you liked this and didn't like that, all we can do is make generalizations.

You can probably make either one fit you comfortably. Consider if any of the things like crank length or handlebar width might bother you. If you prefer to be stretched out rather than keep a good bend in your elbows, then the larger bike might be better, but then you might have to deal with longer cranks and wider bars. On the shorter bike conversely, if you still want that stretched out position, you might have to pay more if your bike is one with the integrated stem and handlebars.
