At that level, I don't think the brakes make a big difference, both are meh, and it would come down more on if I thought the carbon fork was worth the extra $100 (I certainly think so), and/or planning upgrades in the future vs. selling the bike outright, basically stock, to get a better bike in the future. The Comp, you can upgrade the brakes; the base level CrossRip not so much.
