Performance separates these two: the Axopar 37 Spyder tops out at 50 knots against the Windy SR40's 42.
On size, the Windy SR40 is the longer boat at 12.20 m LOA to 11.51 m. Drivetrains differ: the Axopar 37 Spyder runs outboard, the Windy SR40 shaft.
Net of the spec sheet it is a trade: the Windy SR40 is the bigger platform, the Axopar 37 Spyder the quicker one. Garage envelope and the missions the boat has to cover should settle it.
