Ah good as these are my tyre of choice (and the Martello rear) for the next round of fresh rubber!
I wouldn't bother with a Martello, if you have a rocky trail network, go enduro casing rear Mazza, if not, just go regular Mazza.

Why's that then?
You're no lightweight. If you really need the couple of percent less rolling resistance a Martello has over a Mazza, then go for it.

I've never owned a Martello but they came standard as a rear on a lot of Norcos for about 2 years. I know 2 people who hated them as a rear and even rode with a mate on an Optic that had Mazza/Martello, we plugged a puncture on the Martello that ride then put a tube in it 20 mins later.

Whatever you decide, get the enduro rear. They now also have a Race tyre with soft compound.

Ah fair enough - I'd be happy with a Mazza TNT on the front and a Mazza 2Ply on the back

That's what I run on my Deviate.

Just taken a perfectly good set of Mazzas off my eeb, the front 29 x 2.6 2-ply will go on the front of it at some stage.
