£350 for a trail bike

[illmonkey]

My brothers looking at getting a new bike, around £350.

So far we've noted these:

The Kona looks better on paper, as its an older bike its discounted too

Any advise?

I've forwarded this too, thanks.

My only concern (apart from weight) is cable discs, but I'm sure they are good enough.

I'd look 2nd hand with that budget
