Rockhopper 2008

I decided to buy the Rockhopper 07 on cyclescheme for £550 but my LBS has said that I can get the new 08 version for £500 when it comes out in about 4 weeks time.
I have agreed to do so but am a bit worried now that I know nothing about the new version. Does anyone know what the spec will be?
They have confirmed that there will be a black version and that the spec will be either the same or better than the 07 but it doesn't make sense to me why it will be £50 cheaper?
Am I worrying unnecessarily....?

What i have heard/ seen is that the 08 version has Rockshox Dart forks. These are noticeably worse than the Toras on this years model.
Are you sure you're not looking at he American models, as they have always been lower spec'd than the UK ones?
