got one on order for the new year and thinking of putting an xtr med rear mech on the rear to run a higher ratio.. anyone done something similar?

Depends on your intended usage...?
If used for winter training, CX type rides, some light trail work then CX gearing will be fine i.e. 38/46 or similar up front and 12-25 or 12-28 or so out back.
If you plan to ride it more as a mountain bike then a 32 cassette on the rear may be useful, but the gaps between the ratios is very noticeable.
