I honestly love it.
The manitou forks started playing up about 6 months ago so I sent them back to CRC for inspection and the whole thing turned into a fiasco. Long story short, they said they couldn't be repaired, but they wouldn't reimburse me or replace them as it was an obsolete model. And they didn't have an equivalent fork ie boost, 100mm, capable of taking a 3" tyre. After much wrangling I eventually got a credit and bought some Reba forks. But I'd been without it for nearly 4 months. And I missed it massively.
Got out for a first ride on it since the rebuild on Saturday. Its so bloody good, particularly in the 650x3.0 guise. But I really like the versatility of wanging a set of more xc friendly 29er wheels in it for longer stints.

Glad you're enjoying it. Sorry to hear about the issues with the forks. FWIW my experience with Fox/Silverfish has been excellent.
What passes for a longer stint? I'm wondering if it could take the place of a gravel bike running 29in semi-slicks and my BFe which I definitely don't use to its full potential.

@yetidamo how are you getting on with the Sherpa?
