Ah well if it’s only 140/150 not really a competitor to the chisel at 110/120 so ignore me!
More torn than ever!! 😂
I would pick the Canton for sure, way better spec and lighter for the money. I'm put off the Specialized base model (£2k) as it does appear to be VERY heavy for that style of bike (XL = 14.86kg). To get it to a more respectable weight you would likely spend the same as the comp. I was told October for frame only.

My only concern is it's too much travel for what I actually want it for. I'm really looking to replace my mile-munching HT, but with a FS for a bit of forgiveness for my back.
Just to counter that argument myself, again, however, the Neuron is much more 'upright' so probably better for my lower back and neck issues!! Christ, procrastination is the pits.
Totally get the argument based on spec etc. Especially at the current discounted price.
Based on the above, a very upright position and the Occams ride much more efficient-trail-like than their travel, they are taught and you can’t feel the suspension moving. My 150mm feels like it moves less than my 120mm epic, but remains comfortable and very capable.
The smooth welds on the Alu frames are very lovely too.
