I'll have had the 295 for two years this August, during which time I think I've got a really good handle on what works and what doesn't.
It's now in it's "works for me" format, although I'm playing around with the forks (coil Helm vs air Lyrik) I think it'll go back onto the Lyrik ultimately as it's definitely stiffer, which allows you to plow through choppy stuff with more control. Not that you feel the Helm twisting in isolation, but when you do the same run back to back you notice the lack of it with a bigger fork.
Which means that I'm now thinking of selling the 295 to get something new - would anyone be interested? If so I can go into much more detail, I'd be thinking of moving it as a unit of frame/stem/SDU shock/RT3 spare shock/Lyrik (with Secus), and will include some internal cable sheathing which (once I discovered it) made the bike silent.
It's an XL, and suits my 187cm frame very well.
