ok I've found 2 bikes which I'm interested in.
since, I'm not such a pro when it comes to compare bikes components, I'd like your opinion please.

So, here's a comparison between 2 bikes (approx. 500$ US each).
I've included the links to both bikes in the bottom of my post but I'd really appreciate you to vote BEFORE going and see them if you decide to do so. It's just a matter of keeping an objective point of view. :) Remember, I'm a newbie and I'd like to pick the best bike for that price.

The Iguana has disc brakes as well as a better fork.

Check out the Specialized Hardrock Pro Disc as well-similar price point and spec as the Iguana. Maybe it'll feel better to you, maybe not.

I agree with ooTToo. The Giant has better components.
