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.
