I am also a big fan of REI (outdoorsy type) but not of their premium prices. I'd first ask if you happen to have any friends that are experienced mountain bikers so you could get their help in finding something used as you will get decent components for $500. New is always hard at less than I'd say $800 usually.
The DRT uses a bunch of VERY entry level 3rd party components and an equal amount of 1st party, of which I am not sure of the reliability. However, as long as you don't start hucking too early, you should be fine on it.
The Raleigh Tokul 1 is about $450 and has a very similar spec but a better fork, more relaxed (and therefore stable) geometry on amazon here
