Just my opinion, but shop around at your LBS for a leftover 2010 model on sale. Unless you will never need help from your LBS, it always pays to buy local if possible, that is if the shop is worth a darn. You'll definitely create a better relationship with them if you buy from there.

Also, you might want to get opinions from each bike specific sub-forum on those two bikes.

The Moto will always have great components for the price. Wheels are so-so from what I hear, no personal experience on them.
