and further to this is it worth waiting for the 2010 trek bikes?

i am coming into funds this month (Birthday) and had my sights set on either a Zesty 315 or an EX8, with the 2010 Trek bikes hitting the shelves soon should i wait?

or should i just go with the EX8

and is the Top Fuel 8 the new version of the EX8?

Thanks in advance

    Top Fuel has been around for a while,and is a 4" travel bike where as Fuel EX is 5" travel.

    As prices are going up this year or bikes being downspecced,I`d buy now.

    '10 Ex8 has a DRCV shock, 15QR axle and a tapered headtube. It should still be as nippy as the '09 but a bit stiffer when you hit the rough stuff.
