[Closed] Boardman F/S team 2011 model

I posted on here a week or two ago saying that as I was hitting the ripe old age of 40 and had some redundancy coming I was going to treat myself to a new bike. Now I've got a half decent 456 hardtail which pretty much covers my riding needs , that said I considered either getting a second hand Giant , santa Cruz or commencal full suss or half financing half paying A Lapierre as a treat. But just read this months singletrack and now seem blown away buy a £999 Halfords Boardman F/S team . I'm no bike snob as my 456 Is pretty much a GT aggressor donor. Any other alternatives to the Boardman or should I beat halfords door down in the morning with a deposit. ?

Test ride must surely be the best way to split them.

June's What Mountain Bike has a review of both the Boardman and the Nerve XC and they give 1st to the Nerve and second the Boardman. But MBR the month before tested the Nerve and it lost out to the Giant Trance....

More seriously which one is the nicest colour?

Gold nerve looks better IMO but does the spec warrant the xtra £350. ?
