Get the one that fits you the best, the one you enjoy on an extended test ride(all bikes 'feel' good ridden around the block). If both fit that bill, get the shimano equipped one or the Boardman with shimano-far better components that the throw away sram stuff, including the wheels.

It's all up to you, really. You should try and see which would do good on longer rides for you. I'd personally go for the Seansa, it's Shimano equipped and I see them as more reliable on long term, as they've been around for quite a while. See which fits you best and get it.

Also have a look at Canyon.

You can get a carbon frame running 105 or an aluminium frame running Ultegra for less. Problem is you won't get a test ride unless you can find a generous soul who owns one in your size.
