Used $300 retro Trek or $400 New Batch?

I don't know a ton about bikes but guy at store was super helpful. Used Trek has been inspected and is up to snuff (actually fixed issue with seat while i was there).

Older Trek road and touring bike $299, said it’s great for road biking, would survive on dirt road but not trails. It is a bit too big for me and has the weird gear shifters, guy at the store said it'd be annoying at first but you get use to it. 7 speed.

Batch bike on sales from $650 to $400. Better for trails and stuff but little worse as a commuter or for long trips on road. Don't really know anything about Batch brand. 21 speed. Can read the store description here.

I live in Vancouver so this will mostly will be using as a road bike and commuter, haven't done much trail biking but could do more with the right bike. From time to time for longer rides to North Van (40-60km).
