Rockrider 8.1 vs Carrera Fury

Which is the better of the two?
I think I'd be better with the more trail oriented for fun rides, and I'd like to use it for my commute too, about 20 minutes with 1/3rd on road, the rest a mix up of grass fields, dirt and a little forest.
They seem fairly even?

Rockrider vote from me. If I was after a ht for about that budget the RR would be right at the top if the list.Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame
Voodoo Bizango - 2014 - Dead - Hit by a car
Vitus Sentier VRS - 20170 -
The RR is better specced, more XC, better on road and natural trail, the Fury would be slightly more at home at trail centres.....Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
