    I've had a 6300 for a few months now and am well pleased with it. Unless you can find something with a better spec for the same money, and assuming it fits when you try it on, I'd say buy.
    Unless you pay too much for it, or try using it for something for which it's completely unsuited (freeride, maybe?) I can't imagine a situation where you'd bring it home and think "this is a crock of sh!t."

    You cannot go wrong with a trek, but as sonic says, recommend you try before you buy.
    Sure you won't be disappointed though
