Giant XTC2 Disc vs Avanti Hammer

About to buy one of the two.
The Giant is about $200 cheaper.
Aside from that, can anyone suggest why I should buy one over the other?

Also, is it THAT hard to put racks on a bike with disc brakes?

for their suspension front rack. The Cargo rear rack may also be able to be
modified to fit to/around a disc mount (voiding all warranties) as it is
tubular steel. Verrry strong and available from St Kilda Cycles in
Melbourne.

The Giant frame is one of the lightest around.
