Both bikes can be purchased for $2,200 and maybe lower if I really make a deal. The YT seems to be in great shape, the Devinci rode hard. I’m progressing quickly both on the trail and in the bike park; It’s time for a new bike. I’m going from a 2003 specialized enduro to one of these hopefully. I want to enjoy the trails which the pnw offers while still throwing down on jump lines. I feel like the Devinci has great components / upgrades and more travel, but the YT would be more fun and versatile. Which ever bike I pick I still need to buy a new dropper (170mm) Thoughts???

To add, I want a bike I can really bomb terrain on. I am not a careful or casual rider.
Between those two, jeffsy all day everyday
Both of those prices are wayy too high imo, the first person pricing everything out, selling a bike that cost 3400 new for 2700, no way. Maybe 2k max. The other one is also too high priced I think, its 5 years old already, maybe 1400-1800. Neither of those builds are particularly “top of the line”.
As far as the use case they are pretty similar bikes, anything in the long travel enduro category is going to be pretty similar. If your primary goal is to do a lot of pedaling I would suggest something with slightly less travel in the all mtn category, if you just want to bomb downhill then sure, either one really.
Used bikes are sitting around on marketplace rn, so don’t be afraid to wait it out. A better deal will come along, or they will lower their expectations on price
