After riding HT for a year I am not sure I am ready to know the difference! Part of my fitting was to dial the shock in but the guy did caution me I may find I like it more firm or less. I only run about 103 PSI, my husband is at about 180. He was baffled by that because I am only 30 lbs lighter. I am a much easier and softer rider though. I haven't even ventured to try what the Pro Pedal feels like, I am still getting use to the squish.
Funny thing is in my past life I was a really good bowler, I was always more of a "feel" player. Something was out of sorts it could really mean a bad day. I haven't gotten that way on the bike - YET.
