It's my opinion that all mountain bikes should be fully rigid (For my purposes). I just don't get on with suspension and there's something about tackling tecnical offroad rigid that I find really rewarding.
Read an interesting (funny) piece by a fully rigid fanatic regarding his hatred for the constant change in front end geometry when riding a sus bike.
Not sure I bought into his argument, but the money and weight saved convinced me. I've been riding the local trails on my CX bike, and find long decents to be a bit jarring. It will be interesting to see what the increase in volume and contact area offered by fat 29er tyres does to improve this.
