[Closed] Forum advice needed

Im looking to place an order this evening on a new rig but I'm struggling between my 2 choices.

I'm looking at either a Scott genius or a stumpjumper evo. The genius is cheaper and it is lighter but saying that I would want to have wider bars, dropper and chain guide on it which the stumpy comes with as standard.

Has anybody got any experiences with either as I really don't want to spend the money and regret it.

I have been on a demo genius but it was a carbon version with top finishing kit so I'm unsure how the lower spec ones will ride.

Thanks in advance
