2015 Reign or Trance?

I'm new to mountain biking and in the market for a bike!

I will mainly be riding trails with the odd bit of DH thrown in as I live right next to a bike park.

I am currently weighing up the new Giant Reign 2 or the 2014 Trance 2, and was wondering if anyone could help steer me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help!

I would go for the reign for any type of DH riding, I've ridden a 2014 Trance 2 and it is a pretty good and lightweight trail bike but I'm not sure it would stand up to much park abuse, the reign comes with a Pike 160mm which is a better fork for park than a 140mm Float. The reign will be a bit heavier and less efficient in the climbs but there is always a trade off with this type of thing.
