Boardman mx vs 13 intuitive beta

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a hybrid bike, my choice is between the boardman mx and the 13 intuitive beta. I'll mainly be riding on the road, with a bit of gravel paths, toe paths etc. Nothing to off road.

Is one of these better spec'd than the other or are the differences down to personal preference? Specs are:
