I bought a genesis, picked up a Shimano 10 sp groupset, a secondhand Hope front hub (ended up buying the rear new), made some brake mistakes but settled for Shimano Deore, got the brand X dropper and a secondhand fork.
Conclusion - its great.
Do I still want a full suss? yeah probably. Do I still want something with Santa Cruz written on the side? Of course. Should I have bought a fork with less travel? yes.
