The DK is full cro-mo, if I recall correctly. The Haro is not. If you're a big rider and into dirt jumping, that may help your decision.

I'm 210 ride a Haro Alum 24" I've raced it, do jumps on it, no real hard landings though. I try to hit the down hill smoothly. I've tweaked the back whell pretty good a few times though. But I prefer alum myself. I know alot of guy prefer cromo. We let them off easily. My daughter has a 24" as well. But different geometry. I say that only to reccomend riding the bike first. That may be the deciding factor.

Yeh i'm probably gunna go for the general lee 24. I heard from someone that the 3/8" axels would be too small for someone my size, any opinions on that?
