GT has pretty much the same frame as the top end GT's. Spesh are V nice.

Test ride each and see what you thing

Just get out and ride....oh, and get the one with the best fork

Enjoy

Ok, seriously: the GT - I think you get better components for your money - also main thing with buying at this price break is avoid cable disks - theyjust dont work properly

Some do Dylan. Remember about giving advice to Newbies - Keep it in context and accurate please.

Cable discs mean disc ready wheels and frames meaning later upgrades are easier.

I didn't mind Shimano cable discs TBH, if looked after they were pretty good and reliable.
