I couldn't help myself. I stopped by one of my LBS and ended up taking a look at the Cannondale Cujo 1. They had the 2017 model but just not in my size of fame. But it looked to be quite a nice looking bike and not much more expensive than the Norco.

Then I went online and the 2018 are listed. That takes all that last years model had, but put on a better sized rim that won't weigh quite so much, and is better sized for 2.8" tires. Added on a dropper seat and upped to shimano SLX/XT group set. Now I am sold.
