Hmm...ok...point taken. I just figured it would be nice to find a very high quality such ride. I did have a similar bike about 2-3 years ago....the Trek verion called the navigator, which was an older model of the trek i mentioned above but very different, especially the lack of a front suspention. I seem to notice every few years when i look at new bike they seem to really upgrade each model quite a bit over the course of a year or 3.

Anyway, i'll probably go with the expedition once i sell my stumpjumper. I'm getting to old for mountain biking and for the last year of the 2 i've owned it i've been riding it on the street !
Thanks...
