Hey guys & girls, I currently have a 2022 Farley 5 and I'm exploring getting a 2017 Farley 9.6 as one became available in my area. I know I'm going from an Aluminum frame to Carbon and losing the dropper post (I do plan on installing one if I get the 9.6), but am I getting an upgrade or downgrade in the Drivetrain and Brakes, due to their age? I would pay $500 more for the 9.6 than what I could sell my Farley 5 for
