There are pros and cons for ABS, depends very much on the kind of use you're going to put your bike to, and only you can answer that!

Maybe you do need to ask yourself honestly... (A) Do you want the ABS version for the ABS, or (B) Do you want the ABS version for the low seat?

If the answer is (B), then don't buy an ABS bike, save your money, avoid the complexity and just get a standard bike and lower it (if you need to)! I say "if you need to" because you might actually get on perfectly well with the full fat version... a lot of the seat height thing is in the mind!

If the answer is (A), then you "need" the ABS version!
