as for the 4500 disc it is $100 more than the standard 4500 and in my opinion it is better to spend around $150-200 on the avid BB7 discs, which again in my opinon are far better discs than OE.
I recently bought the 4500 as well, great bike. I Bought the disc-equipped option though.
The Non-Disc Model was about 500, the disc model was 600. The Disc's are nice too, WTB's.
Plus, i liked the blue/black look.
The only future upgrades I can think of now are maybe Some LX components.
Maybe better tires.
