I still disagree on the cross bike for anything other than road.. its a geometry and design that is not designed to go off road. It's ok for a bit more comfort on road but off road it'd not be so great.
The mountain bike geometry is also more comfortable for long rides and much more cushion so you don't beat up your body. I'm not talking about full suspension bikes with riser bars... a nice hard tail cross country set up with a good fork will pay tons of dividends and much more agile off road with loads of grip.
