Hi geny, welcome to the forum. Since you are a beginner it probably doesn't make a lot of difference, but if you are serious about riding, I would suggest you get the more expensive one, it will be a better bike. I think we need to look ahead and consider the psychology of a new rider. It's more than likely that being your first bike you'll come to love it and want to hang onto it, ride it into the ground basically. I know I did and I know others who still have and ride their first. In a years time or 2 that extra few hundred dollars will seem like nothing but the pleasure of having a bike of higher quality will never leave you. Good luck either way.
