Are 26" XC racers redundant?

Having spent the last few rides on my new big wheeler Hard tail I am now seriously questioning whether there is any future for high spec 26" hard tail racers.
I may take this even further and ask whether the 26" xc duallie race bike's days are also numbered.
On the big wheels a slight loss of immediate acceleration is the only noticeable downside to the big wheel format that I have noticed, the new bike is smoother & faster plus cost 30% less than my 1kg lighter 26" racer.
