Inbred or Scandal?

Just come back from a weekend at Afan and just about had enough of my Cove Handjob beating me up and lifting its front wheel at every opportunity! To be fair to Cove I may well have bought the frame one size too small but for a steel frame its as hard as hell.
I just want to replace the frame and was tossing up between the On One Inbred or Scandal; most of my riding is XC with the occasional trail centre day and I do like a "real steel" ride. How much like steel can Sacndium be?
Welcome any suggestions/comments, Thanks.

Note that it is not Scandium anymore (not that it makes any difference to feel - the new frame and old are aluminium alloys with different compositions).

There's a price difference of course but I reckon it's worth it.
Hey Northwind, do you struggle taking yours to places like Afan et al? I only go oncer or twice a year so next time I go I might have the FS option, but interested to know where yoru Scandal struggled?
Thanks
Well, I sold it after I rode a Soul... But, I have to say it didn't struggle anywhere, I'm pretty sure I had it with me the first time I went to innerleithen and it did glentress and drumlanrig blacks for sure, and it did OK, just that the Soul or a 456 would have been better. I ended up giving up on the 130mm setting at drum even though I'd have liked it, because it was so frustrating on the really nadgery stuff, it just felt unstable and about a mile long at lower speed.
I would still ride one absolutely everywhere I'd ride the Soul! Or a PA or 456 for that matter. But I'd just enjoy it less and probably have more trouble riding stuff.
If the world was flat, I wouldn't be riding !
