    I have a Defy3 and it is excellent, nicely finished, comfy and sure footed (not twitchy) but no experience of the Scott.
    I would say the Defy is a bit more relaxed (taller head tube, longer wheelbase) than the scott. Depends if you want a relaxed or more aggressive riding position.

    What size and stem length, I would be interested to know.

    Both are low end bikes - each will have its merits and demerits. Go for the one you like the look of.
