To add an opposing view I'd pick the Jeht - it's that bit more capable, and I doubt that it's much slower than the Flaremax going up, but will be able to help you go faster more securely on the downs.
The Flaremax is (as the Cotic site states) more of a downcountry bike than a trail bike.
I'd be aiming at 140 rear/150 front (which is almost what my bike is, and I suspect most are going to recommend what they know).
