I bought a rourke a while ago off eBay, was a great buy and had lots of fun, and incredibly will built. It's was normal tube 853 and plenty stiff, oversized will be more so. Sadly eventually stolen.
I have heard 853 proteam is easily dentable, given the negligible weight saving and it's use, I would stick to standard 853, mines was dent free fairly well used. Perhaps even a stainless rear triangle for the occasion chip that's do happen given it will be covered in mud.
