I have been looking for a new bike for about a month now and i think im going to get a K2 razorback, but im still undicided on what one... the 3.0 or the 4.0 (about a $200 diff for me) im leaning tords the 4.0 because it comes with a RockShock SID fork, better wheelset w/cartridge hubs and a step up in derailers (LX/XT- vs -Deore/LX).
Do you guys think its best to get a better bike now or upgrade later when things fail? I am going to be using this bike for XC racing and trail use.

Check the bikes out at http://www.k2bike.com

A better fork, better hubs and better components for $200? If you can afford it, I'd say go for it!

well, i have the money... and i shouldent spend the extra, but i think i will :D
after thinking about it (and talking to a few friends) it should be best to get the better bike NOW rather than later considering it might cost even more to upgrade later.

Buy as good as you can then upgrade as you go. If you can afford the better one. Get it !
