I was faced with the same choice a week ago, I went with trance x1.

Verry Happy. Did the Monster this weekend. Still smilling and improved on my time by 50 mins.

Take the newer bike.

 

2008 is so last decade...

 

I have an Anthem X1, so am biased.

[Nimby]

I'm with splat. Also biased - have a Trance X2

 

 

 

Not too keen on proprietary systems (brain etc...)

Giant...less frills, value for money and built to GO the distance.

Specialized...Bling and overated, the wannabe's bike!!

One small thing, watch those chain rings on the xtr (xtra rands) crank...they are frickin expensive to replace
