Help please £250-£400 budget too much choice.....arrrrgggg

Fellas,
Ive spent the last few days doing the rounds in about a 20 mile radius to ALL my local bike shops to see what was on offer and to try and pickup a bargain unfortunately theres no bargains to be had really wrong time of year as they are flying bikes our of the door
Theres just sooooo much choice are they all much of a muchness should I just go with the one I like the look of best or is there a gem currently out there
So if anyone is "up" on 2010 bike specs and recommend one please, they stock all the usual suspects

Come and see me at https://www.facebook.com/biketyke/
eg Current Web Price £375.99
Instore Price £469.99
Web Price
£375.99
WAS £469.99
Save £94.00
yet less than 3 weeks ago it was on offer for £319.99 according to hotukdeals a saving of nearly £60

Im in no rush to dive in and purchase so any idea as a gauge how often the £319.99 price comes around? (should I start a new thread asking what people paid for their kraken)

But being as you mainly using roads etc what about this Ridgeback 29er at £399

You might as well go for more of a hybrid than a MTB
