thanks!
i had a glance at the verentis and nothing jumped out - but i'll revisit just in case.
I'd heard decathlon had catastrophically misjudged stock requirements over summer and had very little available atm until they get a re-up so hadn't really considered them, but I'll have a check there again too.

You can always have a look at Planet X sales

The Specialized frame will almost certainly be more fun and sporty. They've invested a lot in its development.
Worth having a look at Wiggle's Verenti bikes and Decathlon for that money.
