Hi Mark - thanks for reading!
The reason from my perspective that it's a re-review is because of my conclusion in my original piece that the Stache was great for its intended purpose but not a bike that would be worthy of upgrading.
To your point re cost I think it makes the case for looking at the Stache 5 and upgrading vs. a 7.
29+ is a funny size and I think the Chupacabra and Minion 3c sum it up well.
The first is basically a light, fast rolling and high volume Fatbike tire. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">26x5 / 27x4 / 29x3 sort of layout.</span>
The Minion is an aggressive Plus MTB tire. Basically a bigger 27+ setup.
It is an interesting category to me because the bikes are essentially where Fatbikes meet aggressive technical mountain bikes. I put the Stache too far into the former category in my first piece.
