Fisher Paragon or Trek 8000?

I figured everyone asks this stuff on the road forums, what do you guys think? Had a Gary Fisher Rig and loved the way it handled. Just curious on opinions.

AFAIK the Paragon is a 29er and the 8000 is a 26" wheeled bike so this is kind of apples and oranges comparison or at least two different apples. For my money though, I would go with the Fisher. I like the 29er and the specs are better on the equipment. YMMV

I'm well aware of the differences between the two (29er v.s. 26"). Was just curious what people thought as they are similar specs. Was curious to see who likes 29ers over 26" or the other way around. Apparently not much interest in this thread anyways. Oh well.

All I can say Is once I went with a 2009 Paragon is that my odler 26" Fisher only comes out of the basemnet when I ride a mup with my wife.
