Both are doubles (compact 50/34), although there are difference with the cassettes – 11-32 on the SRAM might be of benefit if things get hilly, although my commute is mostly flat. My Flight is Sora triple (30/42/52) with 12-25 at the rear, but I rarely use the smallest ring, and can't quite maintain big ring + smallest cog... I mostly find myself plodding along at 18-22mph in 50F/15R (6th) or 42F/13R (7th) these days, although I'm using the big ring much more than I used to 6 months ago.
And this is where you lost me - the only thing I know about gears is whether I can turn the pedals comfortably (especially as I have a gammy knee) and make some sort of progress
