Not an Orange fan, personally I would be leaning towards :

Cannondale Moto 3 (I've ridden Cannondale all my life and for me the best bikes ever, they just suit me )

OR

Kona Stinky

DYK

The 5 has been around for yrs and is a good allrounder,you can get more for the money in my opinion,always mainly been kona myself,but the Giant reign i was looking at this some weeks ago,and the maestro suspension is meant to be very good,only snag is some say that the bottom bracket is to low...

Giant reign is a downhill bike though, five is an xc bike, a very good one at that too. A few of my friends have got fives, possibly a little expensive compaired to what you could get from other brands as has been said.
Personally I've got a commencal meta 55, great bike but on second frame now after cracking the first one

The reign is classed as a freeride bike,giant's downhill bike would be something like the Glory.The 5 is a good bike nothing wrong with it apart from price compared to others,i know it's handbuilt in England etc but i think it has been loosing it's appeal..The pitch pro is another very good bike and would be worth looking at,can save ££'s compared to the 5.My conclusion is you won't be disappointed with the orange go take one for a test ride,just depends if you want to shop
