Anyone ridden both the PA and the 456 enough to be able to describe how the ride compares?

For the purposes of discussion, assume the fork to be a Pike

I've ridden both and prefer the PA hence thats why i own one. Both good frames and they both do the long(ish) fork thing very well. The PA just edges it for me though as it has a more playful feel to it compared to the 456. If it's any help with frame sizing then i'm 5ft 11" and ride a 17", run it with 70mm stem and it's spot on for both climbing and looning.

EDIT - comments made based on the mkII PA. I understand the mkIII PA has the same geometry but the back end is supposedly a little stiffer and not as comfy to ride, cannot verify this though as not ridden a mkIII.
