Kidneys

I've 90% convinced myself that I should buy a mountain bike.
I did a bit of bmx as a kid, and I've ridden a non suspension late 80s mtb round some tracks in Scotland (in my youth). Last week I went round some of Cli-Machx in Wales and now want to do more.
So I'm basically a beginner.
Best bet to get a decent hard tail bike? Or is that just paving the way to inevitably having to buy a full sus bike within a year?
I want an all round bike which I can ride up and down hills and trails. I am not going to be doing any racing or anything madly technical, but I would like to tackle some good descents in due course.
Any suggestions welcome - currently quite like the look of this:
