Turner Flux - does anyone have one?

Hi,
I'm thinking about getting a Flux to replace my ageing Stumpjumper FSR and was hoping to get some impressions from people who've got one. I'm pretty light (61kg) and would use it mainly for trail/singletrack riding down here in the South of England and occasional XC races for fun.
I want to make sure I get rid of the downsides of the stumpy (weight and lack of rear end stiffness) without losing it's strengths (climbing ability and a plush rear end when the pro pedal is off)
The Flux seems to fit the bill but I have 2 main reservations:
will 100mm of rear travel feel a bit inadequate after the 120mm stumpy?
and
is it possible to build a really light Flux? The Turner website suggests it is but then they would say that! my stumpy is a shade under 27lb but i'm aiming for 24-25lb
any thoughts?
