Before I bought the Epic I had as a light XC bike a Specialized XC FSR
that I bought to see what I though of a full suspension XC bike,I
cracked the top tube and Specialized was going to replace it that week
but instead I made a deal paid a few extra bucks and got myself the Epic
frame from them.So yes they stand behind their bikes and try to please
their customers when it comes to frame replacement.
PS they never even asked my weight even when I asked
them to send a XL rather than the large they were replacing.
