Default Need Help Looking for XC-ish Frame

I'm looking for a new frame to replace my current Specialized hardtail which has gotten my by for the most part but I think at this point in time I'm ready to dive in to the world of full suspension.

I want to start doing XC races soon so I have that in mind when I've been searching for potential candidates. I also want something that I might be able to huck with and not worry about snapping the frame. So question is: What frame would be a good potential candidate for me to look at? I have a 1,000 dollar limit possibly for the frame and rear shock but I'd like to keep it around 700-ish so I could also purchase front/rear brakes. Keep in mind that I'm a bigger guy at 6'3" and I weigh in at a hefty 230(i think) so something burly would be nice.

Also what websites have a good overall variety when it comes to frames and competitive pricing? I've visited wheelworld and there are some kona frames that fall within my price range but not many other brands.

Thanks in advance- Jesse

Perfect time for you to do that is during the Adrenaline BBQ demo! Ask Neil and the guys to help you size up for one!
