I've never ridden a fiend, only viewed pictures, so I can't speak for it, but there are several excellent bikes in that price range. If I were you, I'd spend more time looking.
maybe post up here more specifically what you are looking for exactly. what geometry/size, uses/applications, materials, what fork you will use, what size wheels, what brakes, etc. then people can have a much easier time recommending :thumbsup:
