You get a chromo steel frame (plush ride and quite rare on a bike this cheap)
9 speed drivetrain (apex of reliability)
& hydraulic brakes (cheap mechanical disc brakes on cheaper models are very poor)
You don't need suspension, the wider tyres will do enough for you.
For a similar wide tyred drop bar bike you could look at a Fuji Jari or a Jamis Renegade.
