They're both by the same manufacturer (Trek). I'd recommend going to
the local bike shop (LBS) and giving them both a spin. Buy whichever
one you like better.

I was in a similar situation with the Trek 7500FX and the Fischer
Utopia, took them both out and bought the Utopia. Similar price range
and market, but different "feel."

yup what bill said. I rode the 7100 & 7200 and bought the Fisher Tiburon
and I love it! :)

Enjoy the ride.
