I have a v1 Hightower and all my friends have upgraded (some multiple times) since I bought my bike. I have demoed a number of bikes and every time I come back and am happy to be back on my bike. It just got a new drivetrain and wheels and my plan is to keep enjoying it.
There is something to be said for being familiar and comfortable on a bike. Last year we bought an alloy Stumpjumper for my son. I ride it a good bit and do like the steeper seat tube angle, but when I want to go ride fast I grab my Hightower every time.
