Thanks for all the responses guys.
Ended up getting myself a 2015 Trance 2 with some upgraded parts for a reasonable price after selling the Scott.
Took it for its first ride yesterday on some yarra trails, did about 40kms. Awesome bike and glad I got one. Running 2.25" tyres atm so I don't think its too over the top for the occasional commute, especially with the CTD on the fork and shock. :dance:
