Felt F4X vs Felt F55X (2016)

Hey all,
My LBS has two felt cross bikes, both in my size 30% off. The F55X is alloy with a SRAM rival 1x group, and a thru axle front. The other is a F4X and is full carbon, with a SRAM force CX1 group, and they axle front and rear. The alloy one is $1500 and the carbon is around $1900. (£1155 and £1460)
I need to know super fast which to buy if any. I’m leaning towards the carbon, as it seems like too little of a jump to avoid getting a better group as well as frame. The wheels are of similar quality, as well as are the other components. Any advice is more than welcome.
Also, if it would be better to get the alloy and upgrade components, what would those be?
Thanks,
Jackson

I'd get the carbon. They both have Rival, according to your links though.0
