Great write up! I have been on a V2 spitfire since 2014 and have liked it enough that my next bike will also likely be a Banshee. Really interested to hear more about the mullet discussion between the 27.5 and 29 options, since I would like to try mullet on the next rig. I prefer shorter chainstays (at least I think I do) for the tighter and (unfortunately) often slower riding where I currently live on Lake Superior's North shore, so all things equal I'd be more likely to go with another Spitfire than the Prime.. though I wouldn't want to have to drop to less than a 150mm fork in order to come up with functional geo.
