I am 6'3 with an 010 large and it feels great, not as long as the glory I had before. I run a 55 mm stem. I think the 011 is 1 cm longer in the top tube. I would say a large, I sat on a medium and it felt small. You can always stick a shorter stem on there.
What I was getting at, was you could run a shorter stem. I think that over 6 foot warrants a large frame in most brands these days. The suspension feels great, I was not expecting it to be feel any better than the glory, but I think it is, I don't know if that is because of less weight or what, but it seems to skip over the rough stuff better, the best DH bike I have ridden up till now. Watch the pivot bolts though, one of mine fell out before I noticed and I now have a crack in my linkage. Make sure there is Loctite on them, wish someone had given me this advice!
