For KS type of terrain...you don't really need the 6" / long a2c fork that fits the BR. It's fun, but not all that necessary. I'm thinking more in the realm of something that would lean toward Urban, Park, and BMX tracks. Something you could throw a 66 seatpost on and pedal to work...but slam it to session in between. Still take it out on the trails up at Landahl and somewhat pedal to the top of the 'ISH trail...and then do a little micro-DH'ing.

Mostly though...just to jump off the stairs as me and my family pedal down to the ice cream shop.

For straight up trail riding...I think the BR is much cooler...but it's a little more difficult for me to do trialsy type stuff with the bottomless travel than on something set at a stiff 95mm. I guess that makes the bike less of an all'rounder than the others, thus negating its pertinence to this thread...unless your version of "all round" is heavy on the urban...light on the trails.
