Newbie 'What Bike' question for a change :-)

Having looked through this and many other forums, I'm thinking of going for the Specialized Rockhopper Comp Disc.

However, is it worth for a first bike to get back into XC, is it worth going for an older top of the range bike for the same money, something like a '05 or '06 FSR XtC.

Is it worth going for an older bike and upgrading the forks as a start as this seems to be one of the key areas for a great ride.

thanks

    i would go with an older bike it should be of the same quality and a fork upgrade would be worthwhile eventually

    what do you mean in your title for a change? are you mad? anyway, i would go for the older bike then put new forks on.
