I have their gravel bike the Terra. My first Orbea. I am very impressed with the bike. It pedals very efficiently and as a result, am very interested in the Oiz.
In regards to your sizing; I am 5'9" and after having a Pole Evolink, I would never buy a size Medium in any bike. I have two 2018 Epics (large) currently with blown shocks -hence the search for another bike, and would not want them any smaller.
Very similar thoughts (and I'm exact same size/inseam coincidentally). I'm leaning Oiz over the Evo. I haven't heard any weights on the M10 TR build yet so maybe it will suck, but I was really unimpressed with the weights on the EVO. I think a lot of that is in a handful of lazy spec choices they made. Those could be easily remedied, but why spend $5800 to change a bunch of things when you could spend less on the Oiz and have less need to upgrade parts? I've never ridden brain either but it's hard for me to not consider all the bad rep over it, even if it's just on the rear shock.
Likewise I don't know anyone who has an Orbea MTB but it turns out there is a small LBS very close to me that carries them so I'm looking forward to checking them out once they're available.
Price is right, I would just build my own wheel set and use those that come with it as a backup set. I have ridden an Epic, I am one of the few that never had problems with the brain I guess, I'm just looking for more of a playful bike since I'm not really into racing, maybe a few Endurance events here and there. With the Evo, I would need to change the cranks, most of the cockpit just to lighten it up more.

Yikes. I thought the Lux was bad at $3k. Maybe they don't actually want to sell frames.

That's a lot cake considering the Epic Ultralite is only few hundo more and Sniper is @ $1000 less.

I don't think they do honestly. The Rallon is $4k.

Trying to decide between the 120 tr and the Santa Cruz blur tr. anyone been able to ride both of these yet. Want a bike that I can do xc races on but is capable enough for local trail riding
Interesting. I talked to LBS a few weeks ago and they said projected availability according to Orbea for the M10 TR was late November or December but some of the 100mm stock builds would be available much earlier.
Either way, you definitely won't be racing this season on the longer travel Oiz.

Projected delivery dates from Bike Co's, home remodels and dining in Paris all have one thing in common. = They Run Late.
I hope I am wrong. Having a close look at Canyon Lux (Fall 2018...), SC Blur, Intense Scalpel 120mm. At least the Blur you can purchase.

Edit
I'd love to seems some more details too - weight especially. This is really looking like the bike for me, even with the long weight.
I was seriously about to take the plunge on a Scott Spark 900, which I still think is a good option but the Orbea takes two bottles, is full carbon (the 2019 Spark 910 has a alu rear triangle) and is a better build overall (minus the kind of narrow Mavic wheels)...

When looking at prices, don't forget to factor in Orbea's lifetime warranty.
I have never needed it but its good to know its there.
Fantastic bikes.

How does the lifetime warranty of theirs factor into being that much more than other frames with lifetime warranty?
