My hubby tried both, he has a lower back problem since an accident in his teens but it doesn’t stop him from any sports. He says the upright is easier on his back. I hurt one knee when a car crashed into my motorcycle several years ago and I prefer the recumbent as it is gentler on my knees.
Also if you order from Amazon, they will take it back if you don’t like it. From my experience when it comes to exercise items, get the very best you can afford. (Google the reviews.) There is a much greater chance that you will use something that is a pleasure to use.
