Check the specs of both in the disc version of 105. Universal Cycles is a good place to crosscheck (pun intended) the specs. Cost is the only real issue, but like I said, if you’ve got the dough, it might be perfect for you.
Wow, much love for the Midnight Special. Also has disks -- what is the big difference between MS and Straggler? (I do like also that MS has thru-axles, I like that concept better than QR)
