Epic Enduro vs Ellsworth Distance

[Wodge80]

I'm in the market for a good dual suspension cross-country bike with an element of downhill runs and uphill climbs... generally a all-terrain MTB.

I've been recommended on two bikes and am curious if anyone could advise on the pros and cons of the following two bikes:

The Epic Specialized Enduro vs the Ellsworth Distance

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I have a 2005 Distance. I absolutely love it. I have never heard anyone who has ridden this frame NOT rave about it. It is one of the best trailbikes I have ever ridden and I am totally in love with it. Get's great reviews everywhere. Good climber, excellent descender. Best single pivot on the market imo.
