Had a Jones 29 Plus 135 rear (now called the LWB) for a year. The more upright, weight on pedals, unweighted front takes some getting used to but its a really comfortable ride, especially for long distances. Descended on really rocky stuff ridiculously well for a fully rigid bike. Dont think I have ridden a more fun bike in that scenario. Build quality of the frame was superb with a lot of detail you only notice over time.
SWB is supposed to be much more nimble in teh singletrack. LWB more of a mile muncher. Not tried an SWB as for years they were too small for me.
