but I'll take a Trek Supercaliber 9.8
The Superfly would be a really good option at that price.I am in this camp with you. I lust over trading my Procaliber (HT with a bit of give) for a Supercaliber this fall. Better in every way, for me, anyway.
But this doesn't help the OP with a $1,500 budget.........@Pasha, go take a look at that used Superfly in NM! A very compliant HT, as much as there really is such a thing.
We want to get that out of the way first or just jump into 27.5 vs 29?Can we start a Lefty fork vs. the world debate now?

I mean, you can discuss all day and choose to disagree, but I'll take a Trek Supercaliber 9.8 all day long over any hardtail...climbing included..
You are either under forty or you don't live in New England.
Well, last season I did almost all the riding on this:

This particular picture is from a day of self torture on trails like this-70 something km with 3000 m climb. That's what I call long...ish XC ride.
No suspension at all.
This is how one progresses in the wonderful world of riding off road.
Yup. In New England, that's a road ride.

To be fair, if it rained a few weeks and then froze and thawed and rained some more you could potentially call it a CX ride.
