Trek Fuel 8 vs Trek Lush SL
Hi All!
I'm new here. I'm trying to decide if the WSD of the Lush is worth it, or if I should just get the men's version (Fuel 8) which has a few more upgrades in the components. I'm 5'4", so I would get the 15.5 of either. I have short legs, longish torso, and short arms. Given that, I'm not sure I need a WSD. But I am looking for something that gives me a more upright position, and helps me with my phobia of super tight switchbacks. I ride all single track, up the mountain for several miles, then back down. Fairly technical stuff. And I'm hoping to turn into a better climber, so the ladies with the $5k+ bikes don't have to wait for me so much.
Any help is appreciated.

My partner has a Fuel 8 and I have no problem with it. I'm 5'3 and it's the right size for me. She's 5'5 and its the right size for her as well. I have a long inseam and arms. She has the same inseam as me, but shorter arms.
