Rational thought did come into place in making my choice, especially after many miles of riding each one. Looking back, concerning myself just with budget constraints really caused me to ended up spending money on two bikes that really don't fit my needs, and money that would have gone in purchasing a better fully equipped commuter bike that I have checked out locally, and would better fit my needs.
