No direct feedback but, generally, you will get a better spec of bike from the likes of Trek, Specialized or Cube. By all means buy an Orange if it's the brand you are after.

Ok, I’ve not really looked at Orange bikes before ,most of my distance riding has been on a roadie and commuting on a hybrid with 700 wheels I’m seeking something to go bikepacking on and that seems to look the part and a handy price ,

I see it's described as a 'Suburban MTB' ... oviously, I've no idea what that might entail, so I offer the Pinnacle Iroko as something less Suburban and more MTB.

or, going off in a different direction, how about a Genesis Vagabond?

Looked at buying one for my commuter ,but opted for a croix de fer instead ,it's not quite a MTB or a flat bar gravel bike ,plus its only 1x and if I wanted to use it for BP duties that's no good for me
