[Closed] Storck or Whyte hard tail ? What would you buy?

First post - please be gentle! I've been a long "guest" on the site for a wile but thought it about time i contributed.

I've been looking for a hard tail that's a bit special (nothing too main stream like scott, cube etc etc) for a little wile. I've Got a budget of about 2.5k.

I ended up popping into the Storck place in Gateshead last week when visiting family (not the easiest to find but worth looking for). They were selling off their 2012 models but I'm 6'5 and they didnt have anythign in my size in the sale ... but they looked amazing!

Anyone else been in? or know much about Storck's?

I'm also looking at some of the Whyte hardtails aswell, but they arent really doing much for me....

Cany anyone help suggest another brand i should be looking at for a light hardtail, ideally carbon.

Help would be great!
