I'm a newbie trying to decide between the two 2012 Cube bikes below. Both cost £788 and the specs are the same apart from the differences below.

Can anyone tell me which is the better spec?

I thought the Race was supposed to be the higher model/spec, but since both cost the same maybe its not that simple? I was edging towards the Pro because it has a switch on the handlebars to lock out the fork (poploc) - I thought it may be quite handy. But if the Race is the better spec then it seems mad not to buy that model.

Cube Ltd Race 2012
Fork: Fox Evolution 32 Float RL, Lockout
Gear Shifters: Shimano SLX SL-M660-10 Rapidfire-Plus, 10-speed
Front Derailleur: Shimano Deore XT FD-M780 Top Swing, 34.9mm, 10-speed
Hubs: Shimano Deore XT Disc HB-M785 / FH-M785
Weight: 12,1 kg

Cude Ltd Pro 2012
Fork: Rock Shox Reba RL, Motion Control, PopLoc
Gear Shifters: Shimano Deore SL-M591 Rapidfire-Plus, 10-speed
Front Derailleur: Shimano Deore FD-M590 Top Swing 34,9mm, 10-speed
Hubs: Shimano Disc HB-M435 / FH-M435
Weight: 12,3 kg

Any advice gratefully received.
