Grand Canyon 6 vs 7 - Cycling Europe

I'm in search of a beginner bike for enjoying some fun rides with my kids, both in the forest and on the road near our neighborhood. I recently saw that the new lineup of Grand Canyon bikes has been released, and I would appreciate your guidance on which model would be the best fit for me.
I am 33 years old, 183 cm tall, and weigh 90 kg. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Even cheaper gc6 uses thru axle instead of quick release in specialised

A dropper post is a requirement now, so I’d get the gc7 to also get the SLX cassette. If you shop around for a dropper and want to install it yourself, you can weigh out that cost benefit yourself.
