Hi, I have a speed uno and love it. I ride 7 miles each way, someimes 20 miles a day on it. The gearing is light and easy enough, I only paid 400 but it didn't come with a front brake. The Mu uno has upgraded brakes, wheels and is lighter by 2 pounds. If you are carrying up and down a lot, this may make a big difference for you.
If you can afford it, grab the Mu, I feel like the brakes and the wheel upgrade are worth the extra money. ( I am currently looking for a brake and wheel upgrade)
