Would disagree on the less efficient part. My hardtail fatty weighs less than my full sus. Try some 80 mm tubeless rims with 80 mm summer tires. Superb traction with monster truck capabilities. Great for all around mt biking. Not my first choice for really tech, chunky trail though. Do not underestimate the fun factor. A great addition to the stable, imho.
