I'm looking for a pure dh bike and am wondering what the advantages / disadvantages of the two are?

Get the sunday. they are amazing bikes!
but they arnt as light as you may think, despite that the glory's weigh a ton so they make sundays feel light. take a look at my sunday's if your interested in different build options

sadly im a bit biased as i own one....
Glory"s are in my opinion are really good bikes, they arent a bike to skip over things but instead plough through it. surprisingly this is very fast. corners? not a problem. drops and jumps? easy. roots? pah! rocks? mm breakfast.

the spec is really good. for the price you can get an 08 glory now you could maybe buy the frame, forks and wheels. the spec is impecable. i've only changed the bars since i bought mine in june.

oh and they look the sex...

if i was in your shoes, i would get a sunday. at the point you are, it comes down to what you like. both are awsome, and both claim to be the best on paper, but it comes down to be a personal choice. ride them and see what you like. but yes, the sunday will be lighter

glorys are not heavy. yes they weigh more than a sunday, but they are lighter than a yeti 303, similar to a v10 etc. my glory doesn't feel heavy to ride, as soon as you start, it flows, jumps, and smooths out the rough stuff perfectly. also, they are very reliable bikes, and last extremely well.

i think the only thing wrong with the glory is the sizing, the price is great for what you get (full bike)

there should be a size in between M and L, medium is too small at 6'1+ (realistically, its ok to ride but you should be on a bigger bike ) but the L is a giant (!), somewhere inbetween would be perfect

Tom your glory weighs a ton.
and the v10 frame is 8lbs and the glory is about 12lbs with the sunday being about 10lbs so the glory is pretty heavy. they are good bikes, but the sunday is better!
