Can you ride these bikes on more hairy terrain?

Just sold my Scott Reflex (custom) and was really happy with the riding position and feel It just didnt have enough travel and I felt I was hammering it a bit so...
I was looking to buy the Scott MC - 30 or a Specialized Stumpjumper Comp (07 if I can find one the 08 is fugly)
But I notice people keep going on about how good they are for Xc, but I Ride heavy stuff than XC, ie few jumps/drop offs, all mountain stuff really, so I ask,
1.can these bike take all mountain riding?
2. which one is a superior bike?

I think you need a Scott Ransom not Genius.
Then you don't have to worry if the bike would fail.
And the bike is still good for XC.0 -
And as for the Specialized I'd be looking at a Pitch or and Enduro.
Or, how about Giant Trance X or Reign; or an Orange 5?0 -
The 09 Scott Genius is apparently going to be a really nice bike. It has 150mm travel at both ends but is meant to be very light."Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling." ~James E. Starrs0

I think that bike will be very expensive, £2000+ , not many people can afford that.
And about the weight, hmmmm............I'm not so sure about the strenght of the whole bike.
Althoug, it would be a nice bike, as you said.0 -
