Maybe, but for places like the Peaks, I'd always want some bounce. Plenty of the trails are mega steep and don't have much of a "smooth line". I go farily regularly as I've got mates in Sheffield, but I'm always surprised at just how technical and steep the riding can be (compared the relatively smooth flowing North Downs).
@cake - If you're on a budget, adding bounce tends to be expensive, but for the price, I've heard good things about these:

Bike looks sweet though. Keep the rigid forks for less adventurous outings.
