Well, they both pretty much have the same components. The primary differences are:
The Smoke 2-9 has a Cro-Mo (better than Hi-Ten) steel frame with grip shifters.
The Dew has an aluminum frame with trigger shifters.
I would personally go with the Smoke. (But then again, I own a older Smoke w/26" wheels).
