Just ordered one of these from Wiggle - absolute steal at 429:

Question is - is it worth spending 150 extra and getting the VRX version (1x, slightly better brakes and fork)? Could use my new platinum 20% discount from ordering the one above to get a bit extra off the VRX then return the VR. Or does it just look better because of slightly better paint and an all black fork? Would spending more for a dropper in the cheaper model be a better investment? Will my chain always be falling off on the 2x (don’t remember dropping chains much back in the day)? Enlighten me.
