Selling the Trance? If so, I'd be tempted by this:

if they'd knock a few quid off, or the Commencal Phil posted, or Sean's Scott.

Or, why not just replace the forks on the Trance with some Revelations (seems to be a popular move with Trance owners), upgrade other bits for better spec as they wear out/as you fancy, and spend the bonus on beer/tabs/women/road bike/whatever?
