Its relative isn't it - seem like a lot of brands have gone with the e7000 on their most basic models, but on the likes of SC, Pivot and some others it makes no sense when compared to rest of the market value wise as their base models cost more than most brands top end ones.. Maybe Shimano are incentivising brands somehow that if they want the ep8 they have to also fork out for some e7000s?
I have always taken it with SC that you are going to be paying a shit load for one on the first place, your not exactly the kind of person who is going to be wanting the e7000
The Bullit is a great bike, but at the end of the day you have to be an SC fan to justify shelling out for one over the competition, as its not exactly offering anything you cant get somewhere else at a lower price.
Its main plus points the weight, which is relatively low for a bike of its type, and if had the cash to drop on one then that would sway me, but not enough to stretch myself financially.
