Surely it means that you use less energy and can sit down and pedal over slightly rough stuff that you couldn't on a HT, I found at the gorrick yesterday I was standing up quite a bit even on flat sections that I wanted to sit down on to conserve energy.

I find FS more fun down hills. The launch it and sort it out approach ends in blood shed on my h/t.
Still love riding hard tails however, they are unrivaled for cut and pasting runs through the woods. Still like a big fork on the front however, but maybe I'm just a bit soft!

Comfort, my ageing body needs looking after 
I'm worried!! After buying my first full sus in November, are they really that expensive to run??
Probably already been said, but because it's faster over anything at all rough - even uphill. Biggest difference being that you can sit and pedal stuff you'd otherwise be standing for. That and comfort - stopped getting an aching back after long (5 hour+) continuous rides after I switched.
I rode my FS (Nicolai Helius CC)yesterday and wondered to myself why I've got my HT (Cove Handjob).
I rode my HT 2 weeks previous and wondered why I've got the FS 
The more I ride in Wales as opposed to local the more I ride the FS and vice-a-versa.
