I live in between brighton and lansing. If brighton isnt too far of a drive the guys at D and D bikes are super helpful. Check them out they mostly carry giant (at brighton at least. They have multiple stores.) and I believe they have a sale going currently. I know the giant talon series is pretty good for an entry bike. 27.5 hardtail with tektro mineral oil disk brakes along with an sr suntour fork w/ lockout was 25% off when I was in last.
