So basically I\`m getting back into riding after a long time and I\`m looking for a new bike. I currently don’t have a bike and I’ll be mostly riding a bit of everything since a variety of trails/terrains are available where I live (southern Croatia). I only rode XC bikes in the past but always wanted a bit more. After doing some research my choices have come down to these two bikes;

The Jeffsy is currently on sale and I can get it for €2000+additonal 200ish for shipping and pedals, while I can also get the Stumpjumper for €2750 at my local bike store. The Stumpjumper is on a massive discount and they have it in my size but the problem is that it\`s pushing my budget severely (initial budget was around 2200-2300). On the other hand, the Jeffsy is not available currently as they only have an estimated shipping date of May the 16th which can mean that I could wait for months till I get my bike (info on YT\`s shipping is very inconsistent from what I have read here and on other subs). I know I am probably comparing apples to oranges since the Stump is way better specced but since my budget is tight I want to know if it\`s really worth that difference. Any info will be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
