Merida Matts TFS Trail 700-D

Hello all,
Looking at the 09 Merida Matts TFS Trail 700-D, had my heart set on the 08 850-D but cant get one now as they are gearing up for the new modlels, bit of a price jump for the new line up now up to £950!! so two questions now I am in the £1000 bracket is there much difference between these??
They say the frame geometry is trail for the 700-D and XC race for the 900-D what do they mean???? only £50 between them but compleatly different spec??
I do a 30 mile round trip to work a couple of times a week on a disused railway but at the weekend I want it to be able to take some stick as some of the runs I use are quite rough.
Oh and also (is this question 3??????) I cant seem to find the weights of any of the 09 bikes any ideas??

Might be able to help you there mate. I've had the 900-D (08 model in white) and i've just taken order of my lovely new Cannondale Rize Carbon 1!!! i'm after a quick sale if you are still looking for a bike? £999 new will take £700 or make me a good offer. Hardly been used and certainly not abused. Can e-mail pics if interested.0

Usually XC geometry is longer, lower and steeper.
The XC one seems better parts value. The trail one looks very overpriced for that level of kit.0
