I'm a big fan of modern 120-140mm XC/down country/trail bikes because they make mellower trails more exciting. They obviously easier to pedal and more fun for big rides, but I love how they don't mute descents as much as enduro bikes. They also (generally) carry way better speed. Going the light wheelset/light tire setup on your Nomad would make it more spritely and better to pedal, but personally, I've always found that on the descents that won't change the fact that you're riding a squishy 160mm travel bike. And then when you do hit gnarly descents, your bike will promote...

If you're wanting to buy a new XC or downcountry bike, definitely do it. You'll have a blast. But first, do me a favor and borrow someone's XC or downcountry wheels with tires mounted and swap your rotors over so you can try your Nomad with faster rolling tires and your rear shock locked out. It'll blow your mind how much more fun those now-boring trails are. I just have the one long travel bike (SC Megatower, like you) and with two wheelsets I'm able to have fun anywhere.

Great downcountry ripper, just a perfect match between trail and xc and this bike goes to prove it with no effort. Point it up and put in the power there is no tech climb you cant climb with ir with ease, point it down and then the agility and playfulness come up and as you ride it down, bike comes alive and let you rip the trail with any features on trail, jumps, gaps, drops, rolls, steeps... of course its not a enduro bike but comes really close with trail category and in fact most pf my PBs onmy local...
