Thinking of shortly buying a new mid-range crosser and currently deliberating between these two:

or
http://www.focus-bikes.com/gb/en/bikes/2015/triathlontt/e-planet/mares-cx-20-disc.html
Anyone ridden either or both? On paper the Vitus seems like the better deal and, having actually seen one in the flesh at the CRC showroom, it does look very trick indeed, but since I've never had a disc brake bike before any comments or advice would be appreciated. Cheers.

I'd be looking at the 54.5cm in the Vitus and the 56cm in the Focus. In terms of the geometry I would probably lean towards the Vitus which has a longer headtube and a slightly shorter top tube.

I would go for the Focus.
It's a brilliant new frame.
