What should I get for my low maintenance SS which I ride mostly around Ashton Court and Leigh woods at the weekends and at night?

I've got 2 boys under 3 so I want to max ride time, and reduce maintence time.

A coil Recon SL (4.09lbs) or an Air Recon 327 (4.2lbs).

I'm thinking the lower weight and more simple(?) Recon SL.

Or something else altogether?
I've got £175 to spend so looking at '08 models on offer.

(I'm 6" and skinny)

Try and get whichever Recon's come with the Motion Control damping - fork feels much more controlled IMO. Air ones are also mega simple with just one valve to adjust pressure to suit.
