Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I think the GT looks better, but thats subjective.
- Local team was running the GTs last couple years and loved them.
- Looks like GT is the way to go!
- I'd go for the GT no question.
- GT all day long
Cons
- GT is also at the edge of a cliff right now.
- However, keep in mind the condition GT is in. It looks like they're shutting down. This means that you'll get no warranty support if you ever need it.
- You can drill the frame, I did so on my GT.

Out of that list, the GT seems like the best bet.
At those prices, I'd probably just get the GT knowing that... You are not riding hard on it and if anything happens it's just a paperweight, whatever. It's not like you're investing in a carbon bike for thousands of dollars.
