Just wondering what you guys have to say on them and what else there is out there...
Full suss is for poofters

Nah, not really, but good full sus is seriously expensive, you'll get an excellent hardtail for the price of an adequate full sus bike. I never even considered it myself... Plus you end up dragging around a fair bit of extra weight and unless it's got a clever linkage you lose pedal power to bouncing. What's your budget?
