Default Orange Crush or Kona Hoss?

Hi all,

I want to build a bike for urban enduro riding. It should be light and durable. I'm about 80 kg (176 lbs) and I won't be doing big drops, but there will be some small jumps, stairs etc.

The fork will be Fox Vanilla R or RLC. I wonder, which frame would be better: Orange Crush or Kona Hoss. I can get Kona for lower price, and I've had a possibility to test ride it - it rides VERY nice... but I like Orange brand so much that I'm ready to spend some extra $ for the name. :) These is no chance for me to test the Orange before buying it, so I'm asking your advice - maybe someone has Crush riding experience and can share his opinion..

Thanks in advance!
Sorry for my English

I would spend the extra and go for the crush. It is probably slightly lighter with the same (if not more) strength. Plus it rides well and looks great.
