Components aside....how would you compare a Stumpjumper Pro (with the top of the line rear brain shock) with the equivilent prophet....

how good is the brain...peddle bob...efficiency?

I have a Prophet and like it a lot. It's very tall under the BB so clearing obstacles is very easy. The lefty fork is also very nice. Pedal bob isn't too bad once you get the platform set on the shock. I haven't ridden the Stumpjumer, a fact that I should rectify, but everything I've heard and read has been very positive.
