They are both 54" and fit a bit differently but equally well. The Pacer feels a bit longer but has more (some) drop. I'm 5'10". I could go 56" (and had a hard time deciding with the pacer) pretty easily but preferred the handling of the 54"s (a great deal didn't make my decision hard on the LHT). I haven't regretted going on the smaller end of my spectrum in either case.
My profile says Austin but I'm updating it to Humboldt right now. Will be up your way for the Oregon country fair pretty soon. Can't imagine it would be hard to find one up your way. Portland?
