I'm not surprised you like it. I'm waiting on delivery of an '05 Kona Kula so I asked the shop if I could borrow a ride for a few nights (my current bike is being reincarnated as a SS ; )
I was thoroughly impressed with the Blast. It hadn't been ridden for awhile (it's an '04 that they used as a demo/rental/loaner) and so the chain and derailleur were a little stiff until I rode for a bit. Wow, could that baby climb! Stable on fast downhill single-track, too. Lotsa' fun.
