The Sentinel is in a similar ball park geowise to my overforked (160mm) Starling Murmur. I have only been on it for 6 months and it copes with most things probably with the exception of really rough / rocky trails but this could be the forks or rear shock being out of their depth rather than the amount of travel.
Geo v Travel is an interesting debate - should the geo match travel or do short travel bikes with progressive geo work? I think I'm coming around to geo matching travel and there is a progression from XC bike to DH bike.
