Thanks for the info, I’ll have to check those shops out. I should have mentioned my budget is 3500. The Jeffsy has a sale right now 3200 and I can step into a carbon frame which is why I started this post. The Jeffsy also has a little better front and rear suspension, (compared to the Trance 2). They all say it comes down to personal feel. However the guys at the Giant shop really sold me on the Maestro suspension tech considering the type of riding we do here in Florida (which is why I’m feeling torn between the two). I did look into Evil and Specalized but the prices were a little out of my range for what was being offered.
