I agree 100% with your feeling about the M-10. The difference this year with it has been amazing. Last year and before, if I did anything but a short ride, I would feel it for days, in my legs and back. I feel like I can ride all day over the worst trails and get up and do it again the next day. I still don't think I have it dialed in and am probably still breaking it in, but what a difference. Fox Floats or Ohlins in the front next year for sure!
