Mike,
When going down twisty trails - hang your butt off the back of the seat as close to the tire as possible and lower your shoulders.
This will get you through it without that feeling of going over the bars.
Most mountain bikes close to $500 will be very similar in quality, components, etc. They all compete with each other within a given price range.
Test ride 4 or 5 bikes and see which one 'feels' the best to you.
Small changes in the angles in which the tubes are welded makes a big difference in handling characteristics.
