I was in the same spot Dakin, really wanted a geared mtb/do it all bike. The last couple of months I've tried 3 frames: a Kona Caldera 18" but too small, ended up getting a nos 20" Inbred from here for a great price. Built them up with 455 rigid forks and 1x10 drivetrain. I rode the same lap twice on each bike, road,off road, gravel, singletrack etc.
The Inbred felt long and very sluggish, you should really see if you can borrow one for a test as personally I was so disappointed. I ended up putting a rear hanger on my single speed Cannondale and running a Zee 1x10. Most versatile bike frame by far, can run 700c wheels, 26", rohloff hub, or 1x1 and has all the fixings for racks etc. So I say forget the Inbred and snap off Howards arm for that Cannondale frame
