Carbon_Dude:
I think the Scott Spark is closest to the IP-036. Similarly the Scott Scale is closest to the IP-056.

Sitar_Ned:
Now that you mention it, I do remember reading the comparisons between the Spark and the 036.. Even has the rear pivot in same location on seat stay:

Carbon_Dude:
Ah, but with the Scott frame you can change the BB height by fiddling with the lower shock mounting point.  That's gotta be worth the extra $2,000, and I'm sure you will change it once :).

Just more parts than slowly work themselves loose over the miles. Seriously, that seems like a totally pointless feature. I would pay extra for a bike that did not have that feature. Maybe I'm missing something, here.

Carbon_Dude:
Some things seem like good ideas on paper but are worthless in practice.
