A quick, this bike purchase okay?

Looking at this Mondraker Raze. It has the same groupset as my Mondraker Chrono which has held up well enough for my general XC, and on the odd occasion I've done some downhill, it even kept up with friend's full sus. An extra bit of slack head angle, extra bb height, dropper post, rear sus, should make things easier, easier on my knee, whilst keeping in with some actual XC use. Am willing to sacrifice in some areas to keep price down like with this bike. Any downers or better options?

Nothing negative to say about it, but can't say i'm clued up on FS bikes.

I do like Mondraker. I would likely have one if they'd sorted their stock out around me when i wanted their gravel frame.
