The sequoia is a good bike but very heavy because its cheaper steel, the Pinnacle is lighter and just as versatile. I built one for my girlfriend who commutes 2hrs a day on the road and we're planning some off piste rides for later this year.
The price of the arkose will trump the specialized aswell ;)
I cant recommend a Pinnacle Arkose enough!
