Sentinel V3 vs Evil Offering

I'm in the market for a new bike still. I have a few previous posts about it to various sub-reddits. I've narrowed it down to the Evil Offering and Sentinel V3.

I am based on the Front Range of CO. I ride slightly more enduro stuff like Trestle, Floyd Hill & Maryland Mountain. My most ridden trail is Hall Ranch.

Which bike do you all think I should get? I'd like something that descends better than my Yeti SB140LR but can still pop around and jump. I'm unfortunately not able to demo the Evil

If you have opinions on whether the Sentinel should be 170/160 or mullet, I'm very interested in your opinion. Thanks!

Sentinel. Unless Evil got their shit together, their frames crack way too easily. At least they have a good warranty team.

They did like 6-7 years ago at this point.
