If it's possible for you money-wise, no question get the dw. The dw/VPP/Maestro/any other knock off any of these is the only current suspension design in my opinion - at least for long travel trail bikes that need to be active yet pedal efficiently. Any company who is using anything different is just milking a few more years and money out of their current molds while R&D hustles to keep up with Turner, SC, Intense, Ibis, Niner, Giant, and even (gasp!) Haro. Also watch your dw bike hold value while single pivots and four-bars go the way of the dinosaur.
This is my very humble opinion, however. I'm no expert.
Chocolate? This is doodoo, BABY!
