Final decision, please help me choose
 
I narrowed my choices to two bikes :

Cube Access WLS Pro 2013 (I know it's not a hybrid)
http://www.cube.eu/uk/wls/access-wls-pro/

and

Cube Nature Pro
http://www.cube.eu/uk/tour/cross/nature-pro-lady-black/

I will ride mostly on bike paths, forrest trails and paved roads.
I tried them both although the shop clerks only let me ride them inside shop alleys. I'm torn 'cause I love the way Access WLS Pro looks and it's comfortable too plus if I change tires for a little bore narrow (from 2.2 to 1.7) it will be like a hybrid. On the other hand Nature Pro is comfortable, fast, the handlebar is higher and its shape it different so it for sure will take a while to get used to. HELP

They are both nice. How important is step thru to you?

You can always flip the handlebar stem, to lower the bars.

Which one trips your trigger, and feels the best.

I would hope the dealer would let you take them for a longer ride, before parting with your cash!

Step through is not important, I don't like it at all. I am so used to riding mtb that I feel a little bit strange on cross bike :)

Personally, I'm not a fan of 10 speed for most casual type riders.
it's a bit less durable and a bit more finicky to keep in "tune".
Noticeably more money for replacement chains & cogs.

Good point :)
