Full Sus Advice Needed!

edited October 2011 in MTB buying advice
I'm Planning on buying a full suspension bike, I've narrowed my choices down to a Lapierre Zesty 314 or the BMC Trailfox TF02 XT/SLX. I have no previous experience with MTBs at all and so am a bit lost. I'm a tall rider so need the seat tube to be at the very least 54 cm in length, although this is big for an mtb this is the absolute minimum. I rode a Stumpjumper FSR and really liked it but the 2012 models have a shorter seat tube so that is no longer an option.

Which bike would be the better choice and have I missed any other good options.

thanks

    2011 Stumpy?
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    How tall and are you coming from road bikes where you have the seat stuck up your ar$e all the time?
