now its 40k for a Judy Fork, with Deore or NX parts.. 

It's crazy, and entry level wheels. You'll end up spending alot of money upgrading.

It is a very twitchy bike given the HTA.

A hardtail is always awesome when you need to put down instant power for a sprint, or getting away from a chasing dog. Since i got my Scott wc that Tri Lock must be [for me] the best lock out system ever. Once it is locked out, my bike basically feels like a hardtail. I often do long road sections, or long road uphill's, locked out, way more efficient in my view, or for me. 

I know i am not really answering your question. But i am not really sure what you want. A hardtail though is so much fund, even a locked out dual cant replicate it, but as i said, if its about saving weight, not really sure the way forward for you [excuse the pun]

Weight, maintenance, fun factor, speed..

But appreciate your input, every bit helps ;)

Kind of with you here. For speed, weight and service cost, get a roadbike. For comfort, get a DS. For funnest fun, HT. :)
