Hi Longshanks
I am 6'4" and I have a LHT version 2009. I am like somebody else here who said long in torso and short arms. It took a few tours to get the fit dialed in but I could not be happier with this bike. I changed to a short stem and have Albatross bars to reach back to my arm riding position. If I were to buy one today I would really like the disc brakes. I bought an Ogre this last August and it is the first bike I have had discs on and I really like the upgrade. Big improvement!! I have the stock gearing and have had no trouble. I climb all over Colorado and never really had a huge problem. Just gotta pedal!
That said I think you would be happy with either bike as they are both fine machines, you are going to tweak the ride fit to get it dialed in for you with either bike you pick. I think the disc brake thing would make up the mind for me.
Good Luck!! Jim
