Lighter, lighter, lighter. Ditch any weight you can while still maintaining your comfort level. I'm unfamiliar with the setup of both of these hybrids, but I'd definitely ditch a suspension fork if either has one. If it's a flat commute, go single speed and eighty-six your shifters and derailleurs. +1 on replacing the suspension seatpost and adjustable stem. You'll be amazed at how much weight you were dragging around.
