Yeah, I've tried mechanical discs before and really wasn't impressed (think it was BB5's) so decided that if I'm going disc it'll be hydro all the way. Really liking the Trek, quite similar posture to the Awol but looks more designed.
When does Evans' big end of summer sale normally start btw?

Cable pull disc are great, but fiddly and too many variability to go wrong (such as facing the mount for the calipers to sit 100%, the calipers isn't well build to begin with, housing that flex a lots, etc.).
The hydraulic wirth the auto aligned piston and auto adjusted for wear is much easier to forget, which remind me that I really need to service my Hylex at some point.

Good thing about the Trek is that you can try and get them on a discount.
The full hydraulic system will be quite easy to look after for you.
