Which new bike?

I'm thinking of acquiring a new bike on the company purchase scheme but can't make my mind up.

At the same list price (£699) are the Charge mixer - nice and sturdy, low maintenance hub gears for year round commuting and powerful hydraulic disc brakes to cope with Bristol's traffic.

Also tempted by the Ridgeback Genesis Vapour cyclocrosser - lighter than the Mixer, mudguard and rear rack mounts, option for a bit of mud pluggery at the weekends.

Any opinions? (And don't tell me to get both!).
