Hello from Somers, NY - need help picking a hybrid

I'm buying my first higher end bike. I'm looking for a hybrid/comfort bike. I really want a cruiser for my 4 weeks at the beach, but the rest of the year I live in Westchester County, NY with plenty of hills and lovely bike trails. Help because I am completely torn between the Specialized Crossroad Women's and the Giant Cypress women's. Both ride beautifully. I like the extra space between me and the handle bars, the slightly larger handle bars and slightly wider tires on the specialized. They cypress has an equally wonderful ride and I prefer the seat and love love the color. And the price is $50 lower. Can you help please? :)

Color means everything in new bike.

Get the one you like and post a pic when you get it.

Have fun.
