The Del Norte has a tire that is 32mm wide as opposed to the Sanchez's 23mm wide tire. The wider tire will give you more impact absorption on rougher city streets than the narrow tire. The rim of course will be able to accommodate 700C tires of varying widths so if you find that that th32mm tire is too wide for you then it won't be a big deal to eventually swap to a thinner tire if the need arises.
