They couldn't be further apart in ride feel, the yeti is racy and feels stingy with its travel. The Evo in any headtube angle feels like a more stable and fun bike in my opinion. The 130 is fast and wants to be ridden hard, whereas I took my Evo on a leisurely ten miles with my wife and her Spur this morning and still had fun poking along and playing on features at her pace. A couple weeks ago I was hammering black diamond tech trails at Grand Targhee bike park. It just does pretty much everything well.
Id go back to a Hightower V2 or Ripmo V2 before I bought an SB130.

Out those 4 bikes Which is the best on trial. I have 165. I look for something more trial oriented

Go ride them if you can! Nothing more valuable than finding out for yourself, only you know how you ride and what you like
I didn’t know the Transition Sentinel has very similar Geo to the evo. Might have gone that route have I even looked at transition. The ripmo is just too trail in my opinion compared to that beast head angle of 63.5 in low , most other AM bikes are still in the 65.9 range
The only thing I don’t like about this bike is that it constantly gets accused of being battery powered
I was on the ferry towing my trailer and with my kayak and SJ Evo on the roof of my vehicle. I hear two guys talking and one says to the other. "That's a nice setup". Then one says, "Is that bike electric", and the other says "yes".
