Exactly...if I ever buy a pure xc bike it sounds great
And in fact is very inventive...
What about Saint? Do you already dislike that, or are you going to test it out first? 
Thats what I meant by XTX...I don't like shimano hubs so I am already out of luck. I also don't like the fact I can't run an Evil chain guide or Raceface cranks. Because their entire system requires everything THEY make I refuse to buy it. It might be a good system but I refuse to make my bike a 100% shimano bike. To explain further
1 - propietary spline on the bb requiring proprietary chain guide requiring proprietary crank and heck it may even have a proprietary hole configuration meaning fews choices for chain rings.
2 - On the rear end. Deraileur attached to hub (I think this is dumb) so proprietary hub/deraileur...I would be surprised if they don't come out with a way to make a proprietary chain.
3 - The shifters...I already said enough about this....
So in short...yes I already dislike it
