Another Questions - -Mongoose DXR - vs XR-100

OK, thanks for all the tidbits of info about out bikes (see m/f - we just bought our first bikes....

I do have another question,

Having been a pro bike now for 1.5 weeks (just kidding), I know enough on line to know that the
mongoose is bashed a bit, especially from the likes of those buying it at wally world? (current term
used alot in these groups...), however, I am one of those guys that starts off knowing little, and
then by the way of the internet, learn, learn, leanr, custom shocks, (Marzocchi Rock Shocks, etc,
etc...) all about 3 times more than the price I paid for the bikes.... :-)

I may consider a higher end mongoose down the road...

Anyway, my question is this, can someone tell me what the differences are between the DX and XR-100?
In the past 1.5 week, I found that I the shifting is a little different, some say the front fork on
the DX is better and others argue that the XR-100 (should you even buy one of these), is lighter,
yet the seat on the XR-100 stinks....

Which is better for which use?!

My uses, (our should lI say, our uses) are really, is for aerobic fittness, our area is paved roads.
Although, we do live in the foothills, so most of the N to S paths are incline/decline. (i.e lots of
hills on the surface streets....

I'm trying to figure out which is the better of the two bikes - - it's hard getting info from bike
websites as most of those users have tires or grips that cost more than my bike...but we are biking
almost every day, so I'm alright with that.

Lastly, what is another mongoose full suspension bike that I can by if I wanted to upgrade a little
and what would it do for me?

For example....a Mongoose Solution Full Suspension Mountain Bike ? $350 or so...what benfits
would I have?

Thanks for the help...the main thing really right now is the XR vs MGX..

Also, for what it's worth....at Walmart, I saw another DX which has the DX markings......my MGX has
the markings similar to the Mongoose Inferno, although I know just the sticker is different (grin)

thanks again..
