I did a little more digging for you, and I'm leaning towards the Canon 
because while both can scan PDFs from buttons on the front, the Canon 
seems to have better support for multi-page PDFs.

You click to start a PDF scan, and then you can keep adding pages until 
you click the "Stop" button.

PCMag seems to rate them both nearly the same (although the Epson was 
the one they recommended in their composite "Best scanners of 2024), but 
if you are planning to scan longer documents, it might make a simpler 
workflow.
