The more this season progresses the more I'm looking for a fat bike to take the sting out of bad ski conditions. Anybody been getting out? Any top recommendations for a bike in $1.5K range?

Framed Minnesota 3.0 XWT w/Bluto en route to my door!
That price is silly.
Bump.
How do you like it? In the Bike Log Thread, I noticed the rigid fork. Did you opt out of the Bluto?
I still haven't pulled the trigger but it is getting awfully close.
So, the question is, how much fatbike do I need?
Bean's has 2 Scott models I am seriously considering; the Big John and the Big Ed.
The Ed comes tubeless ready, has an X9 rear and X7 front, Shimano hydraulic disc, and a host of other stuff. (Bluto with a remote lockout)
It's a bit expensive but, with 15% off and a bunch of gift cards, I can get it down a bunch.
The John has LX rear, Deore front, hydraulic disc, rigid fork, non tubeless. It's also $500 cheaper. (but a Bluto alone is almost $600)
