There's enough of a travel difference between Sentinel and these two that it makes sense, Gage. I love the Sentinel and have it set up 150 rear/160 front (it can accommodate 170 up front) and it handles the steeps fairly well, but not as well as my Enduro at 170mm front and back. Doesn't seem like a big difference, but it is - and what doesn't translate onto spec sheets are shock rates. So, don't fall into the trap of only looking at the numbers (even though in this case, the numbers do help tell the story). I say that before riding the Patrol that's coming soon, so I'll have more thoughts after that.
