I thought this deserved a new thread, since my other one started about hardtails and then went off at a very different tangent. I've been looking at a variety of different full suss bikes, and have found a few that come in around or under £1500 (which is the absolute maximum I can justify spending).
IF I go for a full suss, these are the ones I've found so far that are within my price range and seem to have a reasonable level of components. Any comments, good or bad, would be much appreciated.
First on my list is the Canyon Nerve AL 7.0 W (replacing the Nerve XC next year). The 2012 model is here:

I've also had a look on a couple of other sites and seen some that are within my price range.

Apart from price, how are these 2 models different?

Univega Alpina SL- SKY XT:

This is just a list of bikes that are within budget. I know very little about most of the brands, and haven't even heard of Univega before, so I don't really have any opinions on any of them.
(I currently ride a 39cm hardtail with a shorter stem fitted, so the chance of finding anything to fit me in a unisex model is very slim.)
