Tell me about the bike then, because it sounds like you've already tried it... I have run v10 for several years, and now I want to try something else. V104C is surprisingly playful, but think the Cube is even more. The bike is not everything.
I havnt tried the new one but i have a cube hanzz check my profile its great but it seems like a downgrade for you i no the bike isnt everything but id say you would be better off on a v10c its lighter probably more reliable seen as cube have only been going for like a year and this is cubes first dh. Santa cruz have many years expericance in dh bikes and the v10 c is there best bike and is one of the best bikes money can buy if your hearts set on the cube ride befor you buy and maybe wait till more people have tried them and see if there is common problems man.
