OK, yet another which bike question. :)

Here's the dilemma -

I've narrowed it down to 2 bikes - 08 F4 (Hi - Bright) vs. 08 Rockhopper Comp Disc (Silver). For the same price, the Cannondale seems to have better components - hydraulic brakes, etc. I guess that's the benefit if offshoring your frame builds. The problem is that the LBS says that the Hi-Bright is not expected to clear customs until the end of February (they have the blue/black F4 and the silver Rockhopper in stock) - the problem with offshoring your frame builds. :)

I'm trying to avoid the impulse buy and getting the blue/black so the question is should I wait for the Hi-Bright or forego the F4 and go with the Specialized? TIA...
