Ah new bike decisions are so hard, the Spartan is high on the list as well and another board member has already made some positive comments on the bike. What do you say, MarkJ?
what bike were you riding before?

Devinci Atlas 29er.. So up from 115mm travel to 140 but down in wheel size.
The Troy is waaaay stiffer and has a better ST angle than the Atlas (it had a 140mm fork) also a lot lighter. Jury is out on the climbing side of things. Seat angle is noticeable as is the weight but the smaller wheels aren't quite as good on the ups.
Troy has boatloads of traction but I need to work on setup on the fork / shock to dial in the really rough stuff.
