I dont know if you've ever ridden a full suspension bike but there is a world of difference between it and a hardtail. Easier climbing, faster downhill, and your back/nuts will thank you.

I haven't. I've kept to hardtails, perhaps because the first of the full suspension bikes were so awful. Felt like I could generate better power without the mashing. I guess the lockouts help a ton too. I've also dropped a bit in terms of weight (used to be around 225/230, dropped to 175 right after I went vegan and now I'm back up to 200 and have been holding there for the last four/five months now) so I imagine that helps in terms of mushing on the rear suspension.
I'd like to get a little list of about five to seven bikes that fit the bill and then try to give them a serious test drive.
