The Rockhopper I'm referring to is the base model not the Comp or Sport. It's list price is $500 exactly (check out the
www.specialized.com web page - i can't give you a direct link because it is session driven). The list for the HardRock Sport Disc you tried out has a list price of $440 so there is a $60 difference.
I think that the Marlin is around $500 too. Too bad they don't have a Rockhopper in your size.
