Most 2006 models have better components than their 2008 equivalents. Not true for all bikes, but I'd guess it is true for close to 90% of them. With the dollar growing weak, manufacturers have had to lower the specs to hit the same prices.
In comparing the '06 vs '07 Sedona DX, they look essentially identical to me. What is it that the '07 had that you feel is lacking on the '06?
The '08 has been downgraded from an 8-spd rear hub to a 7-spd, and uses a lower end cassette. I'd rather have the '06 than the '08, even at the same price.
