I have a 05 FSR XC Comp and really like it. I ride technical single track, no big jumps, lots of obstacles and roots for snake bite. The Specialized XC Comp, like other Specialized bikes, is very stable allowing a rider to pull out of a stall easily. I paid $1125 in early 06 for a leftover. The 06 Comp has a better fork and is worth about $100 more over the 05. But, $1400 price isn't much of discount on a $1500 bike. I'd shop around for a better deal on the Specialized.
I'm surprized the Kona crowd hasn't responded, they really like their bikes.
