what year model?
i had one a few years ago, liked it, but i'd say definitely say stick with an air shock, i had a coil on mine and at times got pissed off with it, when i rode the same frame a while later but with an air shock it was like a different bike.
the newer version i think is really nice, good amount of travel and a pretty simple design with a build weight that suggests it won't fold in half at the sight of a drop off but it's so heavy that you can't climb on it.

Its the one before last, newest design bar the tapered headtube. Reading reviews 30lbs + or - is doable. My head and my heart says 29er as I am convinced, but my wallet say 26er for just now. It has an air shock and I'd be running air forks up front too, probably an SLX 9 or 10 build with a dropper. I've a few plans for this year and the next few and a big(ish) travel bike is required.

mine was a medium and i'm 5'9" and it felt fine with a 100mm stem for most things but when i had it in the alps i used a 90mm and a softer coil spring to get more sag,
