I would choose neither. I know nothing about either bike aside from a minuscule amount of information provided that really doesn't say a lot. A newer bike is generally the way to go but if that newer bike has even lower end components then the Tiagra and SRAM then I might skip it but who knows.
I know if I go for a Specialized I want a brand new bike from a dealer so I can qualify for my lifetime warranty on the frame and fork and Roval wheels (should they come with them) because that literally paid off for me when my old Langster frame cracked after 11 years and they sent me a new one and a limited edition frame at that.
