Which of these two hard-tail MTBs to get?!?!

[Andrew]

HI

My beloved mountain bike was stolen some days ago, and i'm looking for a new
one. The choice has settled on TWO bikes:
Either the exact same one as i had before or another one, same brand
however.

The one i had before (that was stolen) is the Radon Limited XT (2004) (1099
EUROS):

I simply loved this bike, since it was my very first REAL mountainbike. It
has XT-gear all-over, a RockShox Duke XC u-turn (2004) suspension fork and
Magura Julie disc brakes (hydraulic).

The other one that i have an eye on is 200 Euros pricier. It's the Radon ZR
Evo I (2005) (1299 EUROS):

Very interesting. XT all-over, except LX shifthandles and XTR rear-shifter,
Manitou Black Super with Lock-out, Magura Louise discbrakes and then it
weighs 0,6 KG less.

My main question is: is the ZR Evo I worth the extra 200 EUROS (approx.
250-300 USD)?
I'm kinda on a tight budget. as i said i had the XT limited bike before, but
it was stolen. It was a very very good bike, but now i have the opportunity
to upgrade, but only if the 200 Euros are value for money?!

What say you?!

Thanx

Sincerely Anders, Denmark

I think you answered your own question here when you used the word loved.
