Get a trail bike in your size that you can afford. It’s the mid ground between xc and downhill. Ride it and then decide if you are continually over or under biked or if you have found the Goldilocks bike. If it ain’t right sell it and buy something more suitable, if it’s right then buy magura brakes and spend the rest of eternity bleeding them and having a bike you can’t ride.
