Fillet-brazed XC MTB frame

Just getting into framebuilding after taking the course at Yamaguchi (awesome BTW), acquiring basic tooling, supplies etc. Was wondering what you guys thought of the qualities/characteristics of a fillet-brazed XC frame (with slack geo) versus say TIG welded or lugged. Is it strong enough for the stresses/loads from the trail, suspension fork etc. I'm a pretty light rider and don't do any 20ft hucks but just wanted to know what the combined opinion is. TIA

Kinda suprised you'd ask this after having taken a course and built a frame.
But yeah, fillet brazing is more than strong enough.
