No press fit BB issues in our time with it so far. If I could choose, I would
favour threaded, but that doesn't mean press fit is bad - they're just more
prone to issues.
Re: the travel adjust, I didn't know if you meant one or the other (climb or
descend) so I addressed both. Don't consider spending a bunch of extra money
for that feature, is my advice, but there are a lot of other spec upgrades
between the two that make it worthwhile.
I haven't seen the PB review but if you're climbing with the fork in 130, your
weight is also being pulled forward a bit more due to the steeper head angle,
so that might account for a bit of a softer feeling for a given sag setup.
With bikes in this category, climbing performance is still important but not
nearly as important as the way the bike rides when doing what it was designed
primarily to do, which is kick ass on the way down.
