Replying to New bike decision....

So I just started a job that pays really well and I've decided that I want.....no, NEED to get a new bike.  Right now I'm riding a Heckler with a 36 VAN RC2, DHX coil, and the Santa Cruz X-9 AM build kit.  I really love the bike, and the only gripes I have about it would be that it's slightly sluggish climbing, gets a little brake jack, and is a little short on travel for serious DH.  However, I do love the way it handles and how I can ride any sort of terrain on it.  Anyways, here's the two options I was thinking of:

Build up a Nomad with the same suspension (or maybe a Totem coil), send the shock to PUSH for tuning, and get a titanium spring to save 1/2 pound, OR

Get a new or like new DH/FR bike like a VP-Free, Transition Gran Mal, Blindside, etc.  It would be really fun to have a dedicated DH rig, but this option would be more expensive and I think a Nomad would probably be able to handle the number of days I spend at the ski area each summer.

Any suggestions?  Anybody interested in buying a Heckler in really good condition?
