My input would be to find some bike stores that offer good demo/test ride facilities and try them out.
I've just come back from a weekend trip to test a couple of 29ers - both generally get good reviews, but neither turned out to be what I was looking for.
For anyone that's interested:
The Scott Scale 29 Pro really would make a great race/marathon bike - it just oozes speed.
It is however a pretty stiff frame. I'd have felt pretty beaten up after a full day in the saddle.
The Specialized Carve Pro 29er has a very upright geometry and badly needs to go on a diet.
It was however fairly comfortable which surprised me for an alloy frame.
