It really all depends on how you set it up. 29er with travel a 'racerboy' bike, that's just silly in my opinion. Ride both. There both great bikes. Yeah, I'm that peep that's agreeing now! But only because I love arguing with Ray so much.
This is where you have to dig deeper though. It goes beyond suspension travel. Not all 100mm FS 29ers are equal.

For example, take a look at the difference in the head angle of the 2 bikes. The Trance is much more slack compared to the "racier" position on the hi-fi.

This is why mkh1972 needs to ride the 2 bikes to feel that there's a HUGE difference between the 2. AND, whatever he decides on, it will be because HE like it and it fit HIM (I'm assuming he's a dude.)

And Dons right. We're all here cuz we like to ride our bikes and HFDB.

Let's not lose sight of that!
