The Pamp is good for non-aggressive casual trail riding. If you try and ride it like an EC you will destroy it. Its perfect for your wife or girlfriend following along on an easy trailride, and has plenty of torque so its easy for them to ride and light to handle. Any more than that look elsewhere. I burned up the entire rear caliper just doing some spirited riding with my kids, had to rebuild everything. The air filter(trials bike) is a joke for an off road bike as well.
Older ECs come up for sale cheap all the time, I'd go that route.
