Renault Grand Scenic or Peugeot 5008?

I am in the process of buying a used car, but can't decide between a 2011 Renault Grand Scenic 1.5 diesel and a 2010 Peugeot 5008 1.6 diesel, both are automatics. Is one car more reliable than the other? What's the pros and cons of each car?

The Scenic has an Efficient Dual Clutch transmission; the Peugeot only has an automated manual. A Grand Picasso 1.6 has the same EDC as the 5008, but the 2.0 litre Picasso has a better torque converter auto.
