Not much difference.

Without saying what you would end up paying its hard to add a worth. The upgrades on the Kona seem minimal to me for a complete bike change. The kona has a lovely frame, but for a complete bike change i personally dont think its worth the hassle unless you sell yours and get his dead cheap?

I reckon the difference will be about 100 quid, I could probably justify this in the better wheel set and brakes,are the forks any better than the ones on the hoodoo?
