essentially Mongoose Otero versus the Ironhorse Maverick, dual suspensions
they are similarly priced

If I had to choose.... the Iron Horse because the one you linked to is a hardtail. Good full suspension rigs START @ $1000
It looks like you know quite a bit on the electronics / lighting front, (from your past posts) but not so much on the actual bikes.
Basically what you're looking at here are Garrity "Life Lights".

Ironhorse...but what's up with that crankset? I'm looking for a hardtail, not too expensive, and that seems a good choice. Ironhorse have strong frames (and heavy) and give you decent components for a reasonable price.
zoomed in...Truvativ crankset...nevermind.

too much alivio on the IH with 8 speed cassette..which I like to have the most range in gear shifting since I like to go on road often, even with my SGS. It's better to get the hardtail. Most good hardtails can handle xc just fine, no need for a rear shock. Adding the extra rear susp linkage and shocks should raise the price significantly..if it doesn't there have been major cutbacks. ..just my limited experience and knowledge. 3 chainwheels up front (can be dropped to 2 with a DRS guide if needed for more demanding off road fun, and the 9 speed in the rear...go with the the hardtail IH.

My friend bought an Iron Horse Triathlon bike from perfromance. If there is anything wrong with your order they will tell you to talk to Ironhorse. His cam missing some bolts and they really hasseled him about it. Just one experience though.
