IMHO the Dual is one of the buys of the century right now. It's a great bike and the component list is awesome for the price. If you're not attached to that LBS, look around a bit, too. I got the new Excel catalog in the mail a few days ago and they have 2006 duals on sale for like $1400.

Duffy, stock wheels are OK spec on both. Neither is gonna be very aero or high performance, but hey - they're stock wheels.
