Regarding the Diamondback, I am deeply sceptical of a FS bike that retails new for $600 MSRP.
OP said he was shopping used.

I bought a Stance for my first FS, was very happy with it. I liked it enough I've kept it, for easy trail and road riding with my wife, after I upgraded to an Evil Insurgent.
