That list is good reading, cheers.
There's a large Stooge on ebay the now but they look real slack (something I don't enjoy about my Honzo, at least not when its anything other than pointed downhill) and I had a mk1 or 2 that had cracked behind the headtube. Real low bb on the one I had too actually.
The list of steel 29er mtb for bikepacking might be worth a look:

Stooge being the obvious (and pricey) UK based choice.
