I am really happy with my aether 9. bird seem to be about the nest bang for your buck on full builds and their customer service is great.
But I get the impression most modern full sus bikes are pretty decent. So find one that fits with the components and colour you want that you can afford.
Currently dithering over
Starling Murmur Trail - 140r / 140f
Cotic FlareMax - 125r / 130 or 140f
Not quite sure how to split the difference except by going with the one with the nicest paint.
