I prefer the simplicity of the hard tail. fewer parts means fewer things to "go wrong" while you race. I feel i also ride better on the HT, i tend to be a bit on the "lazy" side when i ride my FS, letting the rear shock take up a lot of the hits.
i vote ht!!

After much hemming and hawing, I have decided:
1. I'd rather put the most $$$ towards a rocking cross bike for next season
2. I am going to restore my "vintage" (is 1990's considered vintage?) Breezer Lightning. I'm sending it to Spectrum Powdeworks in CO.
3. I may drop a few bucks to make by Blur a bit lighter (wheelset or something.
