I gave my wife my FS. It's a full custom frame built by a company that's now out of business. It was built for one of their team riders, and is pretty sweet and light. I was able to push it harder and go faster, but since I'm such a crappy climber, I figured I'll stick with the hardtail and let my wife have the cushy ride. I just lean back, weight the rear wheel to keep traction, and work the fork on dowhhill stuff now. Of course, that doesn't work with a cheap fork, as you witnessed a few weeks ago.
