Kona Caldera = $900 brand new: Good fork, decent components, proven frame

Specialized Rockhopper Comp Disc = $880

The specs on the rockhopper aren't quite as good as the Kona, but either bike is a good bike.

Ok.
So what kind of used bike can I possibly find for the same money? What are the pros and cons of full suspension over a hard tail other than a softer ride.
What about this bike or this one or maybe this one ?
