Can’t see that any of the budget brands really do a value xc type model?
I was impressed by this but no full sus: https://alpkit.com/collections/sonder-dial-xc-bike
And @BareNecessities will soon tell you that a full sus XC bike is called 'downcountry'
amey-
I can't comment on my full sus XC bike until @PhilDAS has finished building it

What are my best options for xc/ marathon/ easy trail bike in full sus? Anyone recommend anything or say absolutely no to anything?
Relatively budget end of scale, would like 100mm or 120mm max. Must be through axle, tubeless ready, not bothered about dropper, and have some sort of lockout.
So far seems like
Trek- look lovely, no stock currently in XL
Santa cruz- v pricey
Specialised- pricey but less so
KTM- lot of local guys have these
Canyon- reasonable price, rubbish finance deals
Fallen out with Scott a bit
