I spent a lot of time debating the two, but couldn’t find a way to get a test ride so had to go off the reviews. I ended up disregarding the neuron as it was described as “twitchy”(not in a good way) going downhill and I ending up thinking the spectral would be over-biked for what I wanted to do with it. Also didn’t like the colour of the lower-specced spectrals. Would have to pay 2300 for the colour I liked.
I ended up buying a 2016(new)camber650B from rutland cycling instead. Only had chance to ride it once so far, but its perfect for me right now.
