Coast to Coast - Gary fisher Marlin E or Commencal combi?

I just managed to complete the coast to coast last year on a Revolution bike, I really struggled on the hills and would like to buy something that would make this years journey a little easier..
My budget is about £350, so far I've come with The Gary fisher E reduced to £299 or the Commencal Combi £329 which of these bikes would be best for a route like the coast to coast, and are there any better buys at this price range..?

It has a damped fork, which will improve the ride & not behave like a pogo stick every time it rebounds.
