I ride a 2017 Bronson C and I love it. The 2016, 17 and 18 are all the same except for color (v2). $2300 is a great deal for that bike with great components. The new 5010’s have become slacker and are similar to the Bronson v2 in geometry. The VPP gives a steady platform for climbing. I’ve ridden the older 5010 and the only advantage I’d give it is maneuverability. But the Bronson is fun fun fun!
