I would say go with the Trek. I have the Utopia which is pretty much the 8.4 and I love it. The great thing about the DS Treks is that they are good all around bikes so if you want you can buy another set of wheels and keeps some 29er tires and some road slicks and swap them based on where you are going to be riding on that day.
