You should consider prices after you have purchased a bike. Price is a factor but reliability and support are the bigger factors as those can be big money drains if you don't have them from the manufacturer. The Levo SL from Specialized is quite a nice full suspension mountain bike but there are a lot of other bikes out there depending on your needs. I would recommend if you are interested maybe go down to your local shop and talk with them or at the very least give us some information so we can help better find a bike for you. Bosch, Brose, Shimano STePS, Specialized (which uses both Brose and their own custom Mahle mid-drive), Fazua, TQ and others have good reliability so if you find a bike in that space you are likely to get something decent.
