But fyi, this bike has been this price on Jenson for a pretty long time, so I'm not sure how great of a deal it is, regardless of the MSRP of the bike.

Marins usually give more value than the Treks, and Specialized especially. The Rockhopper at this price point is especially low end specs - mechanical disc brakes, Microshift 2x8 drivetrain, SR Suntour fork. Cheapest "real" mtb from Trek is Marlin 5 and is almost $600, while similarly specced to the Marin. I think Marin has better fork though. Marin also has tubeless compatible tires, but not sure about the rims.

Though this is at a good price, I am little bit concerned about jensonusa
I do have trek stores around NC which is good for after purchase services

The specs or saving a few dollars become pretty irrelevant if you get the wrong bike or wrong size or can't ride it because of some assembly, part, or warranty issue that is a pain to take care of over the internet.

That said, there's a real value in buying local. If you don't know how to maintain a bike, that local shop relationship will end up saving you money (assuming they are honest). Good shops will perform minor repair work free on things they sell.
I love a good deal, but I also support my LBS with lots of purchases to keep them there for when I really need help.

Love mine. Rockhopper with taxes and ship will run you about $600. Add another $20 or more for pedals.
Rode twice one paved trails and 3 times on green and blue single tracks and it handles beautifully. You can moan about better components but you won't get much better at this price range.
