2008 Gary Fisher Monona?

hello

I'm wondering about how good of a value this bike is.

I am looking at a few bikes in this price range and want to know much better (as in is it worth the extra money) for the Gary Fisher Monona versus the slightly less expensive Wingra.

Monona Specs
Frame
Gold Series butted aluminum hybrid
Wheels
Alloy front, Shimano rear hub; Alex AT-450 rims | Bontrager Satellite Plus 700x32 tires
Componentry
Shimano Deore rear derailleur, Shimano Alivio shifters, Shimano Deore front derailleur | Shimano 48/36/26 Octalink crank | Avid SD3 V brakes | (Full Specs)
Fork
Cromoly straight blade
MSRP
$569.99*(about $629 canadian)
Wingra Specs
Frame
Gold Series butted aluminum hybrid
Wheels
Alloy front, Shimano rear hub; Matrix 750 rims | Bontrager Satellite Plus 700x32 tires
Componentry
Shimano Alivio rear derailleur, Shimano EF50 shifters, Shimano C102 front derailleur | Shimano M341 48/38/28 crank | Tektro V brakes | (Full Specs)
Fork
Cromoly straight blade
MSRP
$479.99*(about $519 canadian)
When I went to test ride bikes I rode the Wingra, which i liked, and the more expensive Mendota which was great. They didn't have any Mononas in stock so i couldn't try them. How substantial is the difference in quality of parts?

Thanks

also, is there a comprehensive review for these bikes anywhere (also of the Trek SU 2.0)? i can't seem to find anything. if you own one let me know what you think of it.

thanks
