I want to replace my Citroen C4 automatic - should I go for the Renault Scenic or Megane with the new EDC automatic gearbox?

I am very pleased with my Citroen C4 HDI ESG Auto and am considering the new C4, but I note that the Renault Scenic and Megane have a new EDC Auto gearbox. Would one of these be a better option?

The Renault has a proper DSG/Powershift type twin clutch transmission. It is a better system than the EGS in the Citroen. I drove it in a Scenic in Paris earlier in the year. Very smooth drive.
