Pinnacle Mean Streak 2.0 Frame or Trek 4500 Frame

Just picked up a very tidy Trek 4500 disc frame. At present I currently have a Pinnacle Mean Streak 2.0 so I'm wondering which frame should I stick with? I've read good things about both bikes on the BikeRadar reviews, so at the moment it may come down to the toss of a coin.

The Pinnacle was originally a Hybrid, but I ditched the forks for a pair of Rockshox Tora's.

Any thoughts?

    Weight is always a good indicator of frame quality (on similar style frames) so how much does the pinnacle frame weigh?

    I've got a stock trek 4500 2012 model and it doesn't weigh that much but pair it up with some decent front shocks.

    I'm looking to fit some rockshox rebas to mine to make the front end lighter and quicker.

    Not a scooby on how much the Pinnacle frame weighs. I was edging towards the Trek as they have more pedigree than the Pinnacle, which I think were made exclusively for Evans.
