Really nice frame DBD. I was just thinking about that bike today. If I had to pick a new MTB today, it would be between a Kona Bear and another NRS. (I have an NRS 2 right now.)
I agree with your assessment of XT vs. XTR also. Not enough difference in the two to make it worth the extra money.
Don't forget to post the 'after' pics. DG
