RE: Which mountain bike?
Ive owned a couple of Trek bikes and they have both been great.. I do see mechanical disc brakes as a bit half assed though, i'd either go hydraulic disc or stick with V brakes (no middle ground for me!) 
I like the Bontrager finishing kit as well [8D]

They're all basically the same bike. They have the same forks, same drive train, same brakes, and similar wheelsets.
Personally, I would go with the Trek, they make good frames.

I can't believe that ''entry level'' is $500+ Ouch.

That's ludicrous if you're just a dude looking to ride around on some trails for fun - even the "entry level" ones. This is why I ride the walmart special.
