Not worth $400 - maybe $200...
First off, after a few days the stickers on the frame all started peeling off. I don't care about the stickers or decals anyway, so I pulled them all off. But still, being in the sun a few days shouldn't cause all the decals to start peeling off.
Secondly, I am having issues changing gears. If I want to go up or down one gear, sometimes I have to click the up or down lever two times, as once won't change it. This is frustrating after I spent $400 for the bike and another $100 to ship it! Even a cheap bike from Crap-Mart will change gears when I want it to! It doesn't happen every time, just when the bike is in a certain gear setting.
Another thing is, the gears just seem to be off. You know how the bike gears has 3 up front and 7 on the rear tire? I find I am mainly using gear # 3, the largest (and normally the hardest and slowest) gear for most of my level-road riding around. Most people would use this when going downhill or coasting with the wind on their back...

Disappointing
The frame is of high quality and the graphics are very nice, but the good pretty much ends there. The packaging was so flimsy that it left the frame scarred and worn fresh out of the box. I wanted to do some customizing, but the bolts and nuts were torqued down so tight that a pneumatic impact wrench couldn't remove some of them. I had to cut them off with a dremel tool and buy replacements. The disc brake on the front wheel is so warped that no amount of adjustment will keep it from rubbing as the wheel turns, thus zapping your energy. Also it recommends tire pressure between 40-65 psi. That was quite a range, so I went with 50 psi. Within a few minutes, before I had even got on the bike the front tire tube blew. Also, the bolt to hold on the water bottle holder that it came with were not long enough to grab, so I had to replace it. The seat is garbage, plan on replacing it as well (the planet bike seat that is recommended by Amazon with this is Very Nice). Other than that...
Great for the price
Bought this even with the bad reviews, $206 11/12. As I suspected the negative are probably mostly user error. Sure it's heavy as are all full susp (non carbon-fiber) bikes. Front and rear shocks are NOT oil dampened (what do you expect for the price?) Was easy to assemble and set-up (only needed slight adj on rear derail-er). A couple of hard rides so far and nothing bent or broken and an incredible bike for the $. Frame is Aluminum except for the swing arm(part that moves up and down with the rear wheel)
