Newbie returning

After a long break from MTB'ing I have returned..and I'm after some advice please..
I've been looking for some weeks now for a reliable and functional bike that will see me well for light / trail use to take the nipper out to burn some energy off..
I've pretty much narrowed my search down to a Saracen TuffTrax (disc) 27.5.. now the bad thing is I've not tried it..
but, from all the ones I've looked at I need an 18" frame, or M frame?...does the Saracen equate to the same sizing?.. (5Ft7 29" inside leg)
I've also hot listed the RockRider500 on offer for £239..but slightly put off by a few negative reviews..
I did look at the Whistle Huron 1484D in GoOutdoors... but the customer service was shocking and they wouldn't price match against another retailer..as the bike had just gone out of stock I was comparing it to!!
I've been unable to find many user reviews of the TuffTrax (2015) if anyone can point me the right direction.. cheers

Links help, but if it's the one I found it's horrible.
And why would someone price match something that isn't available at the price you want?I don't do smileys.

I meant the bike to price match had literally just gone out of stock..it was available before I made my 25 mile trip to the store..
I had a few others shortlisted.. GT Agressor & Giant ATX (size not in stock though)
