Agreed. I don't do any technical mountain biking, so there's no reason to get a mtb. The CX bike can handle it.
It's more of an "I want one!" kind of thing with the mountain bike. It would be nice to have a fat-tired front suspensioned bike to beat on riding the trails once in a while. Just to mix things up. But it's not really necessary unless I find some harsher off-road trails.
