150mm or 120mm full suspension?

So, I'm buying new AM full suspension bike and I've narrowed it down to Superior Full F40 (http://superiorbikes.eu/en/archive/models-2012/horska-kola/oxide-full/407-full-f40.html) and Superior XF 910 (http://superiorbikes.eu/en/models-2013/full/race/482-xf-910.html?show=specifikace#bike-info).
So far I've driven Author Versus 100mm XC bike.
They're basically the same when it comes to equipment but F40 has 150mm suspension and fork is without remote lockout.
From what I've read on MTB forums, there isn't much of a difference when it comes climbing and if I'm not mistaken, most riders would choose 150mm over 120mm.
Also, F40 is 0.50kg lighter than XF 910. And better looking too, IMHO.
I also plan to use it on an everyday commute to work.
Any opinions, advices?
