I'm trying to choose between the Scott Spark 940 and the GT Sensor 9R Pro. Scott: http://www.scott-sports.com/global/en/products/227690007/bike-spark-940-m/ GT: http://www.gtbicycles.co.za/2013/bikes/mtb/dual-suspension/Sensor_9R_Pro/ I can get them both for the same price. I like the Scott for the handlebar lockout, but I think the GT has the better specs. Any advice/experience with either bikes?

I want to sell my 2011 Merida Matt's Lite 1000d. It's pretty much as new (no jokes really good condition). What would a fair asking price be?
