as an sx trail owner i would say go for the sx on the basis that its an amazing bike! i took ages to make my choice and after sampling many i kept coming back to it, its not heavy, very versatile, can take a beating and so on and so on. just my 2 cents

I rode a rampant... Hated it, felt horrible over dry jumps, and didn't do much on fr.
I rode the sx (2010) and instantly fell on love...such an amazing bike, loved it. Felt great on dirt humps, even better on fr.

flexy can be a good thing for a bike like the trance

I'm not sure, but isn't the SX designed to only do 100mm of travel? Will it be enough for your trail riding needs?

In any case, what a beautiful bike.
