Canyon nerve xc or Rose Jabba Wood

Hi all,

I currently have a Trek Fuel Ex 8 bought in 2008, only frame, fork and shock are original. Wheels are Roval Traversee, brakes are Avid Elixir CR, drivetrain is SLX/XT mix. I love this bike, it does everything I need it to do. Sizing is 17.5/16.5 My other bike is a Whyte 905 sized small(15.75)

I am currently looking for my next full suss bike. WMB trail bike of the year winner Canyon Nerve XC 9 looks fantastic, the only thing I'd change would be the seat (to Fizik Gobi) but you get to choose the build on the Rose. I really like the look of the Jabba Wood (probably 8 ).

Either seem to offer amazing value for around the £2300 mark, the current Ex 8 price.

Should I shop smart and try to get another Fuel Ex 8/9 or better in the sales, should I buy either the Canyon or Rose (both unknown quantities to me) or should I wait, save a bit more cash and buy a Yeti ASR5 and swap bits off my current sled buying only what's necessary.

Any thoughts - thanks for sharing my conundrum
