I recently upgraded to a new mountain bike. I had a 29er hard tail. 27.5 was new from when I bought the last one. Based on everything I could research AND based on the type of riding I do, I didn't see any upside to 27.5. I went with 29er full suspension and couldn't be happier.
The only downside I see with either the Santa Cruz or the Niner, is that you'll give your trail buddies a hefty dose of bike envy.
I agree with you with regards to regular 27.5 bikes. The newer 27.5+ bikes have wheels with 2.8-3.0 tires that are run at lower pressure. The bike shop guys were raving about them especially if you are not a racer. The advantages of the two bikes I’m looking at are the ability to run both size wheels. I’m trying to decide on what to by as the stock wheel set. Probably won’t buy a second wheel set for awhile.
