Hello. I am from Bangladesh and I am new to MTB. I am planning to buy Trek 4500.

In the trek official website I found the specification:

Drivetrain

But in my Local Bike Shop they gave me the following specification which differs from the spec in the official Trek website. They are asking for price $725. It would be a great help if some one can let me know if the differences in the two spec are significant. Which changes I can accept and which I should not. Thanking you in advance.
