    I'd go for the Merlin build - cracking bike for that money.

    i just asked myself the exact same question and ended up with the custom Merlin but upgraded the fork to a Rev 426 u-turn with a 20mm maxle lite.

    The Merlin has better components and better finishing kit IMO and MBUK rate the Rev as one of the best trail forks avaliable.

    You`d better make your mind up quickly as the 20% off ends at midnight tonight.

    Also the merlin build comes with the VIP frame:

    It is very bright green, may or may not sway your decision.

    Yeah, go for the Maxle Rev. You'll definitely appreciate it on that bike.
