If you can afford to swap all those components -- brakes, shifters, cranks -- would it make more sense to just buy up to an Enduro instead?
Realistically, yes. But the price I'm getting the Pitch Pro for is insanely low.

When you compared the two, what did you notice most? I understand the shifting and braking might be better, but what about overall feel of the bike? I understand the Pitch has 1/2" less travel, is that enough to tell a difference? Again, I'm a roadie so suspension is not my strongest subject.
