No, this is not another "what bike to get post".
I saw both of these out on the trail today. Talked to both riders, they had both picked them up yesterday. The Epic rider was having trouble getting things set up. Told me it was definitely a race bike, and he didn't feel that the suspension was very active. Not for epic rides (pardon the pun.)
The Blur rider couldn't stop raving about his bike once I caught up to him. He came form an FSR, and was very happy. Plus, the powdercoated white Blur was gorgeous. Very nicely put together. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these out on the trail.
Not sure what those opinions are worth, but I would think that if you don't like tinkering with your setup, don't get an Epic
