    Delivery may be expensive (and slow) if they ship internationally at all. You are almost certain to be hit for duty as well (on cost of bike + shipping). That will increase the price, a lot.

    They're about the same level - one has a bit more suspension travel.

    They will charge you with sales tax. They can only charge this if you are buying from Performance and live in the same US state as the store you buy from. Since you live in Ireland, they can't assess the sales tax.

    And you will def be hit with duty. If they will ship overseas at all.

    I checked the delivery charge and it was €300 & was unclear about the tax issue. So I bought from ChainReaction, got a great deal!
