thanx everyone.
1. In my humble opinion, there is little need for suspension with a fatbike. I use my tire pressure to adjust for the terrain ... rough and rocky, lower pressure; or smooth and firm terrain with higher pressure. If you're planning to ride terrain that requires suspension, a fatbike is likely the wrong bike.
2. Tubeless is great, but it helps if you've got the tools and skills to set it up at home. I've stayed with tubes because my bike is old (not tubeless ready), but with tubeless you'll notice a much quicker acceleration and will make the tires more subtle over rough stuff.
