Columbia Newton Ridge or Merrell Crosslander for Yellowstone?

I have an upcoming trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons and was wondering which you guys would suggest. I already have a pair of the Columbia Newton Ridge Waterproof Plus, but I saw a pair of Merrell Crosslanders at my local Sierra that were on sale for pretty cheap. I’m not trying to break the bank and buy an expensive new pair right now since I use my Columbia boots for local trails, but should I buy the Merrell? Money isn’t the issue with those, I’m just wondering if they’re better if anyone has experience with them
