any info on either brand?

[GSoy]

Hey,
I am getting a new mountain bike soon and would like to know if anyone has had any good or bad luck with any of these brands or bikes. I am looking at the Specialized Hardrock and an Iron Horse Mavrick or Warrior. I don't do any hard core down hill or huge jumps, but i would like a bike that i can beat the **** out of on the trails without any problem. Any opinions or experience with either brand would be awsome.

I mainly need a good reason why not to get one or the other.
Thanks

Also open to any suggestions on other equivalent brands or bikes.
Thanks

The Mountain Bike Review website has reviews of the brands that you list written by owners, not journalists.http://www.mtbr.com/. You will also note that other than complete bikes, components are reviewed, a good way to know which bike is best equipped. I hope this helps
