Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build

I'm looking at options for a light to mid travel trail bike, does the LCFS958 still make since in 2024? The stack/reach and head tube angle are a bit dated but not awful. I've used that FM1001 for a couple of builds and its fine, just doesn't inspire excitement for me. I'd also rather not over fork an XC frame (i.e. not an FM936/909, LCFS918, etc.).

I'm still happy with the frame 3.5 years later. Because:
9point8 nowadays make an angle headset (Slack-R) that is compatible with the frame. With the angle headset and 150mm fork the geometry still holds up imo (unless you absolutely must have a super steep seat tube angle for some reason).
Personally I wouldn't want to run my frame without the angle headset again.
