Kilo vs BigShot

After reading through tons of reviews I am conflicted in what to get. Please don't say Kilo>Bigshot, I know it is. I just have some other considerations as well as questions.

BigShot currently has a 30% deal, driving the price down from $429 to $299 but costs $340 with shipping.

On the other hand, Kilo TT costs $399, which includes shipping I think. http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/trackbikes.htm The TT Pro is $430 and I read some people arguing for that. Not sure if that is worth the extra. Now this being said, I would much rather pay $299 as I would have to invest in a number of other things (helmet, lock, light). Is the Kilo's greater functionality worth the extra? Is

The main complaints against BigShot is its fork and its weight. Can't the fork be adjusted if servicing is done? How much is the weight difference (I did not see specifications on Kilo TT's weight).

Also what about size? Do I need to go through all those measurements to find the right fit for the Kilo? I'm 5'8" and 135 lbs.

Thanks for helping.
