Bike Recommendations - Under £1000

Hi,
I'm looking to replace my crashed winter road bike (me vs. taxi - I came off worse!), and have decided to go for a mountain bike, since I have another road bike. I'm looking to spend up to £1000, & since my comapny uses the Cycle2Work scheme, the Boardman Team FS has caught my eye. However, I'm a bit concerned about the reports of the wide seat stays catching the riders legs. Does anyone have any other recommendations at this price point? I would definately prefer a full-sus (as I used to ride one back in the day), and since there are quite a few bike shops that accept the Halfords vouchers, I'm sure I'd be able to find a shop that stocks whatever is recommended (except Canyon, bit peeved about that!)
Cheers,
Michael
