Wheels:
Spoke wheels require an inner tube, making them heavier and accelerate slower, they also flex when leaned hard. BUT, the flexing also acts as another layer of suspension giving you a smoother more comfortable ride than the same bike with cast wheels.
Sit on ’em, and if you can, ride them around the block.
You aren’t going wrong with either one, just find the one that speaks to you.
