Woot! I just got my new bike!

Its a Rockhopper Comp Disc, it was 1050$ (up from 880$ US MSRP) but the price is good considering where I live, the regular Rockhopper without discs was 800$, the salesman showed me the Comp Disc and I couldn't resist and it seemed like a better deal overall, he also threw in an Azonic T-55, I'm feeling a little guilty about spending 1k on a bike but now I'm gonna ride every single chance I get (to justify the steep price).

What are your feelings on this bike and its components (namely the BB5s, RS Tora and LX/Deore drivetrain set), the Rockhopper base seemed attractive with its SRAM componentry (SX5 bonded to X.7 shifters) but the RockShox J3 and Tektro Vs turned me off.

The pics (Had to shrink them from 2048x1536 High Q .jpg to 1280x960 Med Q .jpg to upload them to Photobucket), impressions coming soon after I take it for a real ride:
