I just found amazon is selling 2014 diamondback recoil pro for only $899. Seems a crazy low price to me.
I just bought the 2013 Marin Bobcat two months ago. Rode my crappy walmart FS bike few days ago. Miss the FS comfort so much.

You really cannot compare the Wal-Mart "FS" to a real full suspension bike. Go ride a real one from a shop, and after it is dialed in for you, getting on that Wal-Mart bike will seem like an absolute joke.
OP, I don't know you and we've never ridden together, but I can't help thinking this is a technique problem, or maybe a setup problem. Put down the credit card...
Are you posting when you ride through rough stuff? I do this on all my bikes, full suspension included. But if I sat my bike like a sack of potatoes, the FS would be more forgiving.
I'm also pretty particular about my setup. I put my saddle and handlebars where my body wants them, not the other way around. I devoted a whole ride just to figuring out the suspension on my new bike - it really needs to be tuned right. I know "my" tire pressure, which is quite low, just 22.5 psi in back. And on occasion, I tweak all three of these.
/\ this. learning good technique on a ht will make you better on a fs. fs isnt supposed to just cover up poor technique, although i bet for most that why they buy them
