Depends how you pay it off.
The 0% fee works out to around 3.5% if paid off equally over 12 months. If you backend the payments, it will be more.

Put another way, the 4% fee will cost £140, whichever way you slice it
The 0% fee but 6.9% APR will cost you around £20 in the first month, then a lesser amount each month as you pay it down1
