Well, I'd go by intended purpose. If you want to do the divide trail, go with the Hunq for it's off-road leanings. If you plan mainly paved touring, the Atlantis is worth considering. The $500 price difference is worth considering, too, of course! (I'd want suspension for a Divide ride, myself--my Rivish leanings stop when the trail gets bumpy!)
