And geometry, and gearing, and handlebar shape, and riding position, and the rack and mudguards. Apart from that, a hybrid is exactly the same as a 29er.

I'm with you on the geometry. But everything else is personnal chioce.

Although I do have a cyclocross bike with mudguards and semi-slicks. Its basically a drop bar hybrid (feck, I have two hybrids?) for all the above reasons aside from geo.

So I'm probably just talking BS.

What do you have Smallfury? And how do you like it? I personally never felt that my wheels were too small, but then I've also never ridden a 29er. I'm always tempted to get one, but like you say they are expensive.

Spot Brand Longboard. The frames rides brilliantly. Questionable build by me. With white rims, and cranks. But it looks great after a muddy ride.
