Have you ridden the Fuel? Without that all bets are off. Geo, suspension kinematics, wheelbase etc can make something that looks good on paper be absolutely hateful regardless of spec.
Reading between the lines there are quite a few mediocre FS bikes out there. Rear suspension designs that require lock out or bob etc.
XX1 can be run with XTR M9000 shifter and rearmech for best of bothworlds (bigger lighter non creaky cassette with Shimano feel and changing)
