List seems pretty limited. There are quite a few good bikes out there in that price range. If I were you I would get out there and ride pretty much everything. Depending on your size you may also want to look into fs 29ers...I believe gary fisher has one in your price range.

The Specialized Stumpjumper FSR is a better bike to compare to the Trance x3 and the Comp model could be found under 2K this time of year.  As mentioned by others, the component spec on the X3 is a must over the X4 even if you have to eat bologna to make up for the difference.

Ok, if it has to be a trance, gotta be a X3 or better. Got it. Yeah I'd like to ride them. I like the way my Rincon rides, but it's heavy. Rode my bud's Specialized rock hopper hard tail front suspension and felt like I was riding a grampa bike. The geometry didn't work for me at all. Thanks for the help guys. I'll probly spend this Sat Bike shopping if they're open. See what I can't pick up.

Talk to Dave or Darren at AJ's they sell both Giant and specialized so you can compare rides back to back ;)
