You are right about needing more test rides between the 27.5 and the 29er. Afterall, I tested an $8000 Cannondale Scalpel carbon SRAM XX1 full suspension 29er against a $2500 GT Aluminum SRAM X9 full suspension 27.5 bike. I'm really glad that the $8000 Cannondale comes in a Small (which is too big for me - the demo bike's top tube was up in my "hooha" when I stood) but not an XS....so that I can have bike lust without actually buying the bike.
