Cee'd or Focus estate?

I am a British expat living in Denmark and want to buy a new car. I have been looking at both the new Kia Cee'd SW and the Ford Focus Estate as a family car and was wondering if you could recommend a particular model and if I should go for the Ford or Kia or something completely different?

As you may be aware, Denmark has a crazy car taxes so it makes things VERY expensive.

For example:
Kia Ceed 1.4 CRDi = £26,000 (no added extras)
Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi 105hp = £30,000 (no added extras)

I'd go for the cee'd. We actually tested the 1.4CRDI SW in Slovakia: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/kia/kia-ceed-sw-20.../
