No question that the fork is more burly on the 2017s. I had that straight front Grant.
If the trails and light and relatively smooth, the Appaloosa would bike fine. I like the widest possible tires for rough trails. On a recently camping trip, I took the Appaloosa and suffered a little over about 10km of rocky trails. I should have dropped the pressure in the tires, which would have improved things, but a genuine MTB would have been a better choice for the day. If that sort of riding (rough, rocky trails) will be rare for you, the Joe will be just fine. If it's more regular, then I'd go with the Hunq.
