I've heard the Somas compared to them repeatedly, they seem like a good choice
I did my first off-road ride ever today in Black Star Canyon. The Soma Cazaderos were great. I don't know anything about off-road but they didn't slip on anything and felt fast on the road and the dirt
The mist turned to rain at the top of the mountain and lots of people were getting stuck and slipping. The narrow 43mm tires cut through the mud and I had no problems. I rode slow, conservatively and walked it up a handful of hills, so can't endorse with any expertise
