I would love to do the test you with progressive springs. I was riding with a friend today who has an Ext coil in back $1200 CAD, Vorsprung Smashpot up front ($420 CAD) and his bike feels great; other than the 40 lb weight (he does have tire inserts too). I definitely wouldn't want that much weight even if it meant a super buttery feel.
