With my ongoing search for a new bike, and much research (from here and other sources), it seems that I don’t really need a suspension fork for where I intend to ride. At first, it seemed like a good idea to have the suspension, but now I’m not so sure. Two bikes (among others) that I am considering are the Trek 7.3 FX and the 7.3 FX Disc. These two bikes are identical except for the brakes. One has conventional brakes, and the other has disc brake. There is a $120 difference between these two bikes. That seems like a lot of money for disc brakes. My question is: is it worth the price for the disc brake version of this bike?

Thanks,

Tom
