    Love mine, I had problems with the Fox forks I just couldn't get them right so changed them to Lyriks and all is great. The stem will probably be too long for you, I changed mine down to a 50mm.
    The bike itself feels and handles great. The suspension gets rid of pedal bob without having to use the propedal switch, descends well but could do with been a bit slacker, it climbs very well too. Best try one after you've been on others and see for yourself. The spec is great for the price too with full XT.
    People have complained about the pivots squeaking so I stripped mine when I first got it and lubed it all up with a quality grease and I've never had a squeak out it. Working on it is very simple too.

    Great value at the moment (for 2010): if you want a along travel 'trail' bike, with quick handling, this will not disappoint. An often overlooked bike.
