What's the purpose for this one? If you will be riding/racing in wet/muddy conditions, the internal cable routing will be a God send for saving your cables! We race our 'cross bikes A LOT, and in the course of a season can ruin a complete drivetrain. Internal cable routing has helped us with that.

That said, if you AREN'T going to ride in these types of conditions, and are just looking for a commuter/recreational/training type ride, there is nothing wrong with the 2011, and you might be able to get a better deal on it now that the 2012s are already out.
