Iron Horse - Maverick vs Warrior

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

LBS has these two bikes on sale, I rode them and I can't really decide. One is a '06 IH Warrior Expert, the other is '06 IH Maverick 5.5. Please help me out, the price is just about the same.
