But is the quality between the Axis and Silverback really worth R1500? What makes the Silverback a better bike than the Axis? Is it only the brand name or is there a big difference in frame quality?

Hi guys, I'm still a beginner in mountain biking and now have to make the difficult choice of a mountain bike... I've been looking at the Axis A40 hard tail and the Silverback Sola 4, both has about the same specs, with only a slight weight difference. Both has Shimano gears and hydraulic brakes, so I don't know which will be the better buy, the Silverback (which is R1500 more expensive) or the Axis. Any advice will be appreciated.
