Am looking at my first bike purchase and think I've settled on the Scott scale 60, trying to decide between the 2010 or the 2011 model. The main difference I can see is the forks, Tora SL Air(2010) vs Rock Shox Recon Silver TK Coil (2011), and groupset, deore (2010) vs SLX (2011).
Any advice on deciding between the two would be appreciated.

whats the price difference

turnkey damping is not as good as motion control so if the tora offer moco - go with that imo

depends on price really but SLX stuff is pretty decent Id probably go for 2011 but depends on the saving your making on the 2010.

The 2011s looking to be around £75-£100 more

Hard decision, though the £140 difference (going by those links) could upgrade the 2010 bike to the 2011's spec & still have a better damped fork? Is one way of looking at it.
