Pretty similar bikes and both good value for a basic track bike, especially 2nd hand.
I'll vote for the Avanti, mostly because of the Omnium cranks. A minor difference for most people, admittedly.

Both have reasonably budget level wheels, I doubt you'd notice much/any difference. This would be the first and possibly only worthwhile upgrade to one of these bikes. Find a nice, 2nd hand set of shamals or older zipps etc for under $500 and you'd have a pretty quick bike.
