Agreed to all of the above. It's a fine line on the value proposition. I like that Kona didn't go super-cheesy on components in order to hit a price point, but you are right, it's a few hundred bucks more than several very competitively targeted hardtails, and only a few hundred bucks less than a few similar spec screaming deal FS bikes.
