i’m personally not the biggest fan of the paint, but can see it losing some of the value. don’t think it had ever even been assembled or at least ridden when i bought it. we’ll see when i’ve managed to destroy it a bit by riding.
i did the same research and ended up getting 48s. there’s still a bit of room to go larger but i’ve set them up tubeless, which makes it a tad more cumbersome to switch around.
got any photos of yours in 650b mode? would be keen to see.

That is some great bikes here, as I said somewhere earlier, I was eyeing that Panasonic, I was really tempted to snatch it. Oh well, looks like it is in very good hands. I am not sure if would move canti's - the paint man, oh the PAINT!
Regarding 650bing the stumpjumper, I had done it on my mtb and found it really changed the whole bike. The only concern is raised BB which you can feel once hit the technical trail. BUT that is when I use 2.0 in rear & 2.1 in front. I found a chart where you can compare wheel circumference and apparently 26 x 2.2 is equal to 650 x 47, so if I were to buy new tyres -- would go for 47s, probably then you wouldn't feel the difference on the bottom bracket. Atleast according to my research haha
