Hey Romano, the new AMB magazine has what you are looking for. They compare three carbon 29er midrange bikes, Giant XTC 29er, Scott Scale 29er and a Trek 29er. Check it out! All of them are within your budget.

If she does its 1.5K?
For your pre wife inspected budget, I would look at the anthemx, or a Scott HT carbon with xt set, or see what build you could get on a Ti HT. Definitely test bikes if you can, and take yours to do an immediate comparison, its easy to get excited on a different bike, and its only by doing an immediate comparison that you can really tell IMO. I had one bike, that felt really fast, quick handling, but when compared to my old stumpy, on a short familiar test loop, it was actually very slow, even though it felt fastest, the stop watch doesnt lie.

Thanks guys, Think I need to take bikes for a test ride and see how they feel, bit like buyng a motorbike, its not until you ride it that it either feels right or it doesnt.
My budget is around 3.5K.. hope the missus doesnt see this.
