usage would be downhill trails mainly i already have a hardtail realy want a full sus though

If you like Kona's and want to do downhill (And also want to pedal up) I'd say a Coiler or Coilair would be a better option

or a 2012 kona entourage http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=95371 ???

Two very different bikes, you need to be clear on whether you mean ride up hill and then down hill or push up and ride Downhill.
