who say no one use 150mm... a lot what... it boild down to what kind of riding u like. u dun use 203 for xc ride like wise 150mm depend on where u ride.
who say skyline no advertising... they spend even more advert than regular sedan car. just that they do a different kind of advertising..sponsoring motorsport team, car reviews and such are adverts as well.. dun get suck into thinking they dun spend on marketing. niche cars like these depend alot on adverts.
zesty 214 is lowest end of the zesty range... need to compare spec vs which Meta AM version u looking at.
the 214 fork, shock evolution series. not sure what series is that. and component make a lot of different to the bike. not just the frame design. go read reviews, reviews usually are good on their top end model. but the same range lowest end model usually fair very bad. dun fall into marketing plot.
also it depend on the price you getting also.... u mentioned u get good price for zesty...but the thing we dunno how much u getting and you not sharing... very hard to advise if the more expensive meta AM is actually more value for the better component it come with.
do some home work on ur end too. some bike frame is design to take a fix fork length, some can take a range. like nomad can take 160-180mm fork... depending on ur riding style. and also modern fork can have travel adjust... so it is not true to generalize bike must maintain the fork travel length.
