QUICK question, please give me some input v.05 or 06

I just got a call from my LBS after placing my order for the 2006 Hardrock Sport (Black)....they said they have 2 XL Specialized Hardrock Sports, 2005 model in silver for $30 off MSRP. Which means, I could get an 05 in silver for $319 or I could get the 06 for $40 more ($359). What are the differences, if any , between the two bikes? Should I just go with the 2005 and save myself $40? I am new to this and not sure how much I will use it in the long run, which is why I went for an entry level bike.

Any input? Should I go w/ the 2005 even if I like the black over silver paint?

Go with the '06. You will enjoy the SRAM X.7 package on the '06 more than the Shimano garbage that they put on the '05
