quick compare of the two bikes over lunch, pay attention to the geometries.
Very different, over an inch stack difference in concert with ETT and reach.
That's sort of the buyer beware issue with BD bikes, unless you have a bike very close in geo, it's hard to judge the feel on the trails.
They might be perfect, and depends if 2500 is disposable if it doesn't fit. New bikes leaving the store always depreciates more than you expect.
