29+ & 27+ / Re: Ican P9 build

Well, I went to a real bike shop this past WE. I could try, static, several bikes, including 29" Scott Spark size M, Spark RC size L, and 27.5 Giant Anthem size L.
I also measured my current xc machine.
My bike's TT is 595mm. And from center seat to center handlebar I have 685mm.
Spark in size M felt a little short, pretty much like my bike. A look at the geometry chart from Scott reveals TT 605mm, and 60mm stem.
Spark RC size L is more XC oriented and unfortunately the seatpost was fixed and too high. It didn't felt bad though. TT 630 and stem 80mm.
Anthem 27.5 size M felt perfect. This one has 625mm TT and 60mm stem.
This leads me to think that if I had to choose for a given size, I would go for P9 size L and adjust length with stem around 40mm.
Now I just have to choose, P9 or Lightcarbon LCFS711 with 130mm fork......
Thanks all for your support
