If you are looking for a 27.5+, I would suggest an Airborne Griffen.
I ride a Specialized Fuse Comp, which is not top of the line, but I love it. When I was looking,for one a year ago I came across the Airborne, but it was still out of my price range.
I also like the Marin Pine Mountain models, I fell you get a pretty good bang for your buck.
I attached website 2 some of the ones I liked, check em out
