Giulietta - which one should I go for?

I am considering buying a new Alfa Giulietta Luso, would you recommend the 1.4 TB Multi Air 170 or the 2.0 JTDm 170 bhp, with TCT. Am changing from an 06 plate VW Passat sport estate. I do about 7 to 8000 miles pa all long distance as have a Fiat Punto for a town car. Or should I repeat the Passat sport but with DSG?
