Which one of these flighty rip-roarers would you go for?

(Obviously for fast XC riding but not afraid to tacke the steeper bits and occasional rocky trail)

Scott Scale 40 2009

Specialized Stumpjumper HT Comp 2009

Giant XTC 1 2009

Haven't ridden the Giant yet, hoping to do so on Monday. Not much to choose between the other two. The Scott weighs 25.22lbs but it's weakest link is probbaly the wheels, I think. Spesh has better parts but the frame is probbaly not quite as good as teh Scott. That's my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong.

Any opinions welcome... :?:
