Any reason to get the Trek in these 2 bike choices for a XC/Downcountry bike?

Looking to get FS bike, from my trails in my area I think a trail leaning XC (downcountry) bike will suit my needs, my budget is <$5k… Still looking around and seeing what's out there but I stumpled upon these 2 bikes and Im curious if anyone here could give a reason why they would get the Trek over the specialized? Besides the GX vs S1000 drivetrain it seems the specialized is much better deal considering the weight and frame.

But I guess this is why Im asking lol, I don't know much about MTB specs/tech
