Scalpel SE is 115/120
It's basically the old Tallboy
So the Scalpel SE would be a good generalist type bike, for a big heavy lump like me?
Well, it would be representative of a type of bike to consider - light, 29er, enough travel for anything except really, really serious stuff, geo that's easy going enough so it feels safe but good enough when you need to climb. That you can get two bottle cages or a frame bag in it is pretty cool too for a full susser.
But there are other options, I'm sure cloud9 or SBC could help you out.

Go for something with 120mm of travel at either end.
