My Schwinn came with Tiagra, Sora and FSA component. It is a road bike as compare to the bike you are looking at. I suggest you may look into what type of quality component you are getting on that bike.
I've got an '07 Schwinn Le Tour GS (same component mix as yours except TruVativ in place of FSA) with over 3,600 miles on it. It's been my commuter for a year and a half and has performed really well over railroad tracks, pot holes, etc. Definately a big diffeence between LBS and Big Box Schwinns. You won't find the Big Box Schwinns on Schwinn's web site. That should tell you something about them.
