without a doubt the glory, the demo isn't a really a race bike (I know what your going to say, and yes sam hill does ride a demo, but hill can shred on anything)

demo is lighter and in my opinion looks better
but for spec id take the glory
same fork
same shock
better wheels
better cranks
better brakes
better chainguide
just put on a lighter stem and wider low rise bars
and take the glory.
its also cheaper

I think that sums it up, it is hard to beat value for money, besides both frames will be superseded in 2010, Sambo will design his own and we've all seen the Giant Proto floating around.

before you buy a bike you should try to ride them both. even if it's just around on pavement. the two bikes have different geometry, one might fit or feel a lot better.
Saint cranks are so nice, way better than any ISIS crankset in my opinion. but swapping a few parts would be easier than swapping the frame.
