I just bought my last Employee Purchase bike from Specialized! I'm graduating and heading back to Dallas, Texas to start my engineering career. I have around $500 of credit at my shop that I have been saving up recently to use for upgrades on my bike. Here is the link to the spec sheet.

Right now I am leaning towards going tubeless first. The roval wheels and tire combination of Purgatory/Butcher comes tubeless compatible. Seems easy and cheap enough.
Secondly, the brakes on the bike have gotten some pretty harsh reviews from what I've read/heard. I was possibly thinking of the Formula R1 or RX brakes instead. Any feedback on either of those would be helpful especially from someone who has used them. Shimano Deore XT is also a possibility.
And here is your part, give me some ideas what I could do to upgrade the bike. I went from a 2011 Spec. P1 All-Mountain to a 2013 Carve Comp to a 2012 Camber Comp and now to my Stumpjumper. I ride Downhill several times a year in Angelfire and Keystone as well as ride XC all over the area.
If you had $500, and could buy anything you wanted at cost, what would you do?
Thanks guys, I appreciate the input!
