Well said about the New Skin for the Old Ceremony.
I built a Honzo ESD as a backup bike this year and I really enjoy riding it at a "mellower" trail center we have around here. I used to find this trail center a bit boring on my big 180/165 Enduro bike, but with the hardtail, all the trails there are now super fun (both up and down).
Basically, riding a hardtail (ideally with current new school geometry) is a great way to enjoy trails that may be underwhelming on a big bike for an experienced rider.
