Hoppin' Rocks or Jumpin' Stumps?

I took a trip to the bike store on Saturday. It was a lot of fun - just Calise and I went. She was very interested in getting a new bike for herself, bless her... :)

After talking to the salesman I can understand why the Stumpjumper is a better bike than the Rockhopper. (He also tried to interest me in the Epic - but I'm not sure that's really in my league....)

The Stumpjumper is a pretty sweet bike -- great components and a better frame, but I think I might save myself the thousand dollars and simply go with the Rockhopper.
