The fork bushing wear wasn't really premature in the context of small bikes pushing light components, it was premature, period.
Aside from the suspension on the Spur, though... there's nothing on these bikes that's exceptionally light specc'd on either of these bikes, really? I'm running effectively the same cockpit, drivetrain, and seatpost on my Altitude as the Spur. Wheels and tires are the biggest difference - and wheels are likely a point of concern.
That said, having talked to folks at RockShox, I know these bikes (Spur, Epic EVO, etc) are really pushing them to push this end of the product line to new strength, stiffness, and durability realms.
