In Australia they cost:

400: $2400
600: $2900
800: $3600

I am no expert on componentry, so it's hard for me to decide which model would be better to get.

But the 2 things that stand out to me are:

- The 800 is the only one with Hydrolic disks (the 400 and 600 have cable disks)

- The 400 doesn't have a lefty fork, but a Marzocchi AM III, 150 mm, instead.

Are these things to be concerned about, or would it be better to save money and go for the cheapest option?

All the specs can be seen at: http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/06/c...m_prophet.html

Also does anyone know why the 2006 prophets have 2cm less travel than the 2005 models?

Cheers.
