Help for first bike 550€

So I have a few bikes Im interested in buying but I cant make a decision. I will use it to go to work and back home plus some rides around the neighbourhood and my town..
I was lookin at: Cube Aim Race 2019
Cube Aim SL 2019
Specialized Rockhopper Men Sport 2019
Specialized Rockhopper Comp 2019
Only thing worrying me is the Specializeds fork cause Ive heard its ****. True or nah?
My budget is around 550€, and if you guys have some other great bikes to recommend I would love to hear some.

thanks upfront

Not sure what you can get from your country but Cube bikes are usually a price leader in Europe
The Cube Aim SL looks like a decent bike with good Shimano parts. However if your objective is commuting, low end suspension forks are not the best choice due to quality and weight. Unless your commute is off road, I'd consider a rigid fork.

others at CRC which look in your range with their steep discounts
