Hmm, I'm not sure, I got myself a nice Jamis last year and I've been so happy with it I haven't really been looking. It was really expensive though, so I don't think I'd recommend it. As far as I know though, Giant still makes some good bikes for the cost and so does Kona (although I think Kona has been getting more expensive lately).
I now have budget for a bike upgrade, last time you recommended a 2006 yukon giant, any changes in the tech/availability?
