I want to slightly hijack the thread. I'm looking at used bikes, primarily the SC. New gen 7.5 tend to go for 2-3k here, the older generation tend to go for somewhere between 2-2,5k, and the 2.5 can often be found for 1.5k. How big is the difference between the new and the old generation? Prices are quite close, but the older ones are much easier to find.
