I would wait a year or so. To a degree, the high tower LT is the result of science project type bike building with the primary goal being to win EWS stages. I'm not saying it's not a good result, but I get the feeling Santa Cruz is going to keep refining its long travel 29er options and it might be worth waiting, especially since you are already on what is a very well sorted ride at the moment (I have a bronson 2 as well and also love it but am also intrigued by the new wave of 29ers).
Another thought I have for the interim is to buy a modern 29er hardtail (probably a rootdown or similar) to see how I like the concept in general. Ahhh the wonderful excuses we can come up with to buy more bikes eh? Cheers!
