Can you guys give advice about which would be the better purchase, a Specialized Status II or a Giant Glory with a Fox 40 on the front. Thanks

Yes, we need more information. If they are both brand new bikes, I personally like the Glory more. I think it has a better rear suspension design. If they aren't new, tell us what year they are, what components they have, etc.

Is this a G0 or G2? Huge spec and MSRP difference.

I tried out the G2, Status 2 and Demo 1. For the money, I ended up liking a used G2 best. However, at my dh skill level, the components made a bigger difference than the frame geo. My G2 had been upgraded to Zee brakes and drivetrain. I'm not a huge fan of the Boxxer RC. So, the 40 on the G2 might make your decision easy.
