Once again, it sounds like the biggest obstacle to selling a 9.9 RSL Trek is how good a job they did speccing the 9.8\. It's almost a perennial thing, although it's mostly about how good the 9.8 is... Especially when compared to the frameset cost.
For the money, I'd take the 9.8 with an e13 cassette, fettled Pike (Luftkappe and custom valving), 150mm s transfer + WolfTooth remote, and Line 30 carbon wheels too.
