it feels so comfortably sit up n beg compared to my road bike
Always got the option of a flat bar. I prefer a slightly higher front end with a rigid fork, as it allows me to keep my arms loose over the bumpy stuff.

xtr pedals
My advice - don't go there.
Very slight weight saving over XT but massively increased wear and some potential safety issues (google M980 XTR pedal failure). I have worn out 3 pairs of XTR M980s one of which the pedal body separated from the shaft. M960 may have fixed it but I'm not tempted to find out.
XT replacements have not had the wear or separation issues. Remember seeing one of the Cape Epic pro bikes wearing XT with caption 'XT pedals for increased reliability'
Nice bike BTW - what's the frame?

@negaatio

I have no clue how short/long mtb cockpit is supposed to feel. I have 90mm stem now and it feels so comfortably sit up n beg compared to my road bike
