I waiting for an Orbea MX24 Team to arrive for one of my sons. Looked at all the options and decided light weight and resale value were a priority.
Was going to get a Scale 24 or Beinn 24 but decided to try something different and was swung by intelligent spec of the MX 24 Team for a kids bike. Rigid aluminium fork, lifetime frame warranty, wide range gears with single front and Deore 10 speed shifter/mech with SLX 11-36 cassette. At less than 10kg, it should be a flying machine.
LBS did a decent deal which made it even sweeter. Not the cheapest out there but light, good quality components and should have a good resale.
