Lapierre Zesty or Merida 140

Any help appreciated - currently looking at first full-sus purchase and whittled down to 2019 Merida 140 600 or Lapierre Zesty AM 3.0, does anyone have either of these bikes or have any experience of them? Not much in the way of reviews around for either.

For the record, definitely looking at 27.5 rather than 29er, and I know the Bossnut’s a great deal but I’m just not feeling it!

Cheers

    Provide links to bikes you're looking at, saving everybody searching, and you'll get more feedback.
    Chances are no-one has ridden either but can give decent feedback based on specification and geometry.
