just get a romic for set up for your style.
stick with the 6.3 inches of travel and you will have a sweet all around set up.
ohh and to the people telling him to get a hardtail i disagree, just because he isnt doing straight up dh doesnt mean fs isnt nice, i think there are some really rocky trails and stuff in ct. full suspension owns hardtails for trail riding imo, i ride a hardtail and a dually but basically i just street ride my hardtail, if i could have just one bike and mostly rode trails i would definitly get a dually, basically set up like his big hit as well, should be a awesome setup to, maybe get a swiger or fifth in the back to evenout the feel of the spv in the front. it might be weird with a super acctive bouncy rear and a ultra stable front.
