Don't underestimate the value of a bike shop helping you choose the right bike for the riding you plan to do, getting the correct size, allowing you to test ride many options, building the bike, fine tuning the fit, providing free adjustments in the future, and handling any warranty claims for you.
Apples and oranges when comparing mountain bikes vs a hybrid bike for mixed terrain with light front suspension. Is your main purpose to ride mountain bike trails? A person who wants to go on mountain bike trails should go for a mountain bike as a hybrid bike like this isn't really designed for that. A person shouldn't get a mountain bike if they really just ride around the town and barely touch gravel roads or dirt packed roads. Only the rider knows where he/she will be riding their bike. Both bikes are good specs for the price and this hybrid is a little bit better bang for the buck but the main question is "Are you looking for a hybrid bike or mountain bike?". If you say mountain bike, the choice is clear... If you say hybrid, the next question is "Are you looking a hybrid bike with thick tires and front suspension for mixed terrain or a hybrid road bike that is for the road and light weight & fast?".

Edit: I measured and it's saying large...fingers crossed
Canyon website says I'm M frame but LBS recommended L for more comfortable position.
So ordered L but now I am seeing that stand over height is 851mm while my inseam is 840. That would make it difficult to get on/ off the bike and may hurt

If you're even kind of mechanically knowledgeable assembling the bike is an easy process. They include the tools and have instructions. It would probably take you 2-3 hours. Decide if that time is worth spending instead of paying the money and waiting.
Some shops may have a $50 build special, but I doubt that includes much beyond installing the front wheel, bars, pedals, seat, and airing up the tires.
