Need help deciding between a 2005 Specialized Stumpjumper Expert FSR 120 and a 2009 Giant Trance X4 with an "upgraded" Marzocchi LO Pro fork. Any input?

Assuming they are in the same condition, the spec's on the Specialized are quite a bit better in most places. Suspension designs are both very good. And a Marzocchi MX Lo Pro really isn't much of an "upgrade" over the stock fork on that Giant.

I'd lean towards the Specialized assuming all is in good condition.

my vote to trance. my personal experience on a stumpy was lack luster. i bought a trance and love it.
