I have a 2016 Trek 7.2 which I bought for $490 last year, roughly around September. They have an Acera 8 spd setup. Last year's model (2016) would be a better value especially if they're gonna be on sale and just basing on msrp itself the newer/rebranded Trek FX 2 is at $530 and like what someone posted, have a tourney fd. So if you can get the 2016 7.2 for a discount that would be an excellent value. Btw, I upgraded my crankset from the stock triple chainring to a Tiagra 50/34, just so it's gonna be more simpler (personal choice) though almost nothing is wrong with the triple especially having the "granny" gear for climbing. Only thing I would upgrade especially if you're going for longer rides if ever you're getting the 2016 7.2 is the grips, ergon or even pseudo ergon grips paired with padded gloves give you a much more enjoyable ride esp if going more than 10 miles. Good luck!
