I don't think you'll go wrong with either one, although I am personally
partial to the Calrec.

See if you can spend an afternoon mixing on each one. The reps should
be willing to get you a little time on one of the things. If you can
bring a multitrack tape of some kind of event, it would help, but even
just sitting down with someone else's broadcast material and getting a
mix from it could help you get the feel of it. It just becomes a matter
of which one feels more natural more than anything else.
