New FR Frame, Trek 7, Stinky or Stinky Air?!?

[Mudgey]

Hey guys,

Bought a cheap mountain bike and am slowly upgrading the parts as I am getting back into the spirit of freeride/dh. Upgraded my breaks and wheelset, and now looking at getting a frame and have seen these:

Trek Session 7 or 77

Kona Stinky 07+

Kona Stinky Air 07+

All have 7" of travel. I was wondering if anybody has any experience with these frames and can help me chose, I am currently leaning towards the Stinky air for the little bit of weight saving, the ability to fully adjust the shock, pro pedal to help on the climbs & the lower top tube which helps with the downhill.

Any advice will be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Mudgey.

I've not ridden any properly but a close friend has a Trek and loves it. And I can't help but think that the Kona full sussers have gone a bit off the boil recently...

What about a scratch air?

Scratch air is one seriously good looking frame IMO. No where near as heavy as I was expecting either.
