ok, just to add some more food for thought...
as your skills level will rise, the more you will notice the soft suspension...
still, you can't have a bike that does it all superb, but it can take you everywhere you want.
if you want some enduro riding up to a certain level, then you might concider getting a second play bike.

i only have my xtz for about 2-3 months now, and first, i was a bit dissapointed in the bike, too soft and sluggish.
you just need to learn to appreciate it, you'll get along fine, once you know it's limitations.
if they bother you that much,that it keeps you from having even more fun with it, then concider spending some money on upgrades.
try to calculate how long you think you'll keep the bike, and see if it's worth the investment. (what i'm doing currently :-p )
