I kind of agree there - I didn't want the 160 bike because I wanted more demands on (and therefore development of) my technique, rather than the "aim, hit, next" approach that the Megatower required. Of course, if was 1000% more accomplished than I am I'd be able to push the Megatower. But I'm not, so I wanted a trail bike rather than an Enduro bike. I did then set out to make my trail bike as well specified as I could make it, which matches your theory.
This review from Pinkbike
of four current DH bikes says it was filmed at Champery, but there's a lot of Morgins in the footage - this is where I first rode my 295. That my little trail bike got me down runs that Pinkbike are using to show off DH race bikes shows how capable a medium travel trail bike can be.
