What full susser frame would you recommend?

I've got a hardtail with an almost brand new 120mm fork. I'm trying to scope out potential full suspension frames to nab to throw into the mix and replace the hard tail frame. My goal is to find a full sus frame that works with 120mm-140mm-ish forks, so I can use my current fork + I have room to grow in the future if I ever get a bigger fork.

The only two options I have so far are both by Sette - the Flite and the Ace.

Ace = 100-120mm, ehh. bit too low.
Flite = 150-160mm, ehh. but too much for current fork.

I've also flirted with the idea of saving up till late spring 2011 and buying a frame/fork combo that match each other and upgrade both then. I hate to upgrade my fork, because it's almost brand new, but at the same time I want to make sure if I get a frame, it'll allow me some play room - with the play room being above 120mm, not below it...

Ideas?

I'll sell you a Transition Blindside frame with a dual-crown 7" fork. It'll go as big as you care to .
