Help me decide which bike please!

Beens searching round for ages to find the best bike for the money i want to spend and have come up with these 2.

Haven't heard much about orbea so unsure if to go for that one.

Or

I could also go for the 29er version of each bike.

Both very similar spec wise. The cube would be 579 and the orbea would be 509 as a 10 quid off code works with them.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Rockshox for the same money, would be a big step up. Especially if you can find a trade in bike (they take anything).

It's still a coil sprung fork though, I presume the other 2 are aswell.

The Vitus nucleus for £599 has a rockshox air fork and comes in both 27.5 and 29 versions.
