Of the two machines ASUS seems to be the newer and more potent candidate. As a previous Alienware owner and currently ASUS user I'm perhaps a bit biassed and I'm also firmly of opinion Alienware is overpriced and lost it's glamour quite soon after Dell took over in 2006. I doubt it's much better value these days. They still make high end stuff to justify their product but the last ones I've used just seemed like toys to me rather than a serious computing option.
You could of course also get a second opinion at the Davincy forum: https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewforum.php?f=21
We mostly have general knowledge here and their forum seems like a much more logical place to ask this.
