Is the Mountain frame worth $1000.00 more than an Obed?

I've been looking at upgrading to a Titanium bike, but budget is a concern. I've read the specs and technology on both frames and they sound almost identical? What am I missing? They both weigh 3.5lbs (17.5") and are 3/2.5 Certified Titanium with 'S' bend triangles for clearance. That extra $1000.00 in savings could do a lot. Or as I asked before; am I missing something?

I know this board (I've read most of it) isn't too happy hearing about anything but Merlin's, but I feel this is a valid question. So please feel free to skip calling me crazy and give a few fact filled responses why my $$$ should go to being a member of the Merlin family! Thanks.
