One of the things that I love about the entire owning a hardtail experience is that they're not in the FS rat-race. If you have a modern geo hardtail with parts specs that wont make it obsolete - you probably have a bike that you can ride for as long as you want to without feeling that "oh no, theyve updated the \[insert irrelevant marketing trick here\] on the new model of my bike and mine now feels like crap!" phenomena.
To me, a HT feels like an immediately more special bike than a FS.
