What automatic is the better buy - the Kia Picanto or Kia Venga?

I'm looking to buy a car with an automatic gearbox and am willing to spend around £5000 - £6000. From what I saw on the internet, my two options with low mileage are the 2012 Kia Picanto 1.25 or the Kia Venga 1.6. Both cars have a 4-speed automatic gearbox.
