if you are talking about these bikes:

..I prefer the second one. The quality of its components is better in my opinion. I recently purchased one with the same fork (Manitou six 2003) and it is the lowest of the range with al. lowers, not magnesium, and only preload adjustment, so don't expect much, ...but its feeling isn't bad at all..
