Also, in this particular case I’m looking at a hardtail with a small(er) rear wheel. It’s not as easy to maintain momentum through jank as an FS bike (never mind a a WC DH bike) or even a 29’er hardtail. I feel I’m on the pedals more often at least compared to FS bikes and 29’er hardtails for similar applications.
