Which MTB..?

Hello,

I never thought i'd write such a request, but after 4 years of not riding MTB, i need some advice.

I'm looking for recommendations for a new fs mtb. I live in Brussels where the hills are rolling and rooty (sometimes muddy). I'm looking for something that is Steel or Aluminium (no carbon..), no motor, and in a trail / "down country" guise. Ideally something made in Europe too.

My current bike is a Liteville 303 MK11. It's a nicely made bike but i've not felt particularly comfortable on it and it needs some work to make it rideable again. Previously i had a Cotic BFE, Marin Quake, Merlin Malt, Spesh Stumpy... and several BSOs. 

What's caught my eye:

• Cotic Jeht gen3 (Trail Silver)
• Atherton S150.3

Thanks for any recommendations.
