The general trend over the last many years has been that the Juliana colourway option is better than the SCB for the same rig.
I think the 5010 looks okay, but I’d choose the Juliana. I like the Julie Furtado story, need a human-specific bike like most folks, ride fairly light for my size thanks to spending many hours on a rigid bike (so the shock tune is probably fine), and I’d be swapping the grips anyway so this would be perfect.
I’m about Karin’s height but with longer legs relative to my torso and traditionally ride a large Santa Cruz with a short stem so sizing is an interesting follow up I’m eager to read about in her conclusion.
