That Btwin looks nice, I've never heard of them. Looks like plenty of good reviews. Extra points for the tight cassette, (12-25) and not being a Trek. (sorry, they're nice bikes and all but too popular for me)

You will get better resale value out of the Trek just because it's a well-known brand and the FX serious is quite popular as @AlmostTrick pointed out. If you don't plan on selling or if that doesn't matter to you, then I'd go with the one with the Btwin. Odd name, though. Is it B twin, Bt win? Or just like 'between'?
