Same pricing as standard EVO.
The bike you linked to is SRAM NX build, which is a pretty mediocre groupset at best. Whereas the OP is a mix of SLX/XT which is way better and closer to SRAM GX/X0. The Jenson also has better dropper post and is overall easily the better deal.
The true Slickdeal was when these were on clearance for $3k: https://www.specialized
It looks like Jenson probably built up some of these frames with in house component stock - hence the "Jenson Bike" moniker. If you can find the Elite build at your LBS for $3k, then that's a slick deal.

Personally I'm glad to see things coming a bit more back to earth. Painful for some vendors but dumb to say they couldn't see it coming. Great for riders and maybe manufacturers will start targeting value a bit more vs seemingly trying to push everyone into upper tiers.

If $ is not a big issue - within the context of this sport in 2025 - and you want a REALLY good bike, I would probably gravitate more towards the Pivot 429. Also a 2-3 year old model that they replaced with the Trailcat now, BUT, a more sophisticated rear suspension and IMHO better all-around trail geo for most people. At 40%+ off @ Jenson and others now, it is as low as people asking for used ones. More expensive than the alloy evo cause it's carbon, and Pivot is way more boutique than Specialized, but IMHO this is a more refined bike (and the Trailcat is supposed to be even better, but hey, perfect is the enemy of good, and this is probably close to the best all-around trail bike already).
Funny that ppl sh!t on Shimano.
I still think Shimano is way better than Sram for anything other than XO/XX1 and that's for the weight alone. Shimano shifts better under load and it's much cheaper and just as strong as X0/XX. They don't do true wireless electronic shifting but...so what?
Also Sram seems to have the worst brakes of the bunch that also require the most maintainance, and their latest maivens are almost unanimously reported as inconsistent and vague. The worst possible scenario for otherwise the most powerful units that should require the higher finesse.
