Hello,

Want to upgrade my 2006 KHS 604 (in addition to a nice Italian road bike), riding mainly long XC rides, like climbs.

Yesterday made a short test ride on the Scott at the parking lot near the bike shop, and just couldn't stop riding. It felt really good, the geometry, the pedal efficiency, etc. I know that it is only a short asphalt ride, but still - I felt like falling in love. (15 minutes before I tried Giant Anthem X3 - and it didn't feel so good).

Didn't try the Virtue yet, but read good review.
The price is about the same.

Should I try the FELT, or just go for the Scott?
Which is a better bang for the buck?
Both of the bikes are 2010, stock setup.

Thanks
