Perry, it was a slightly loaded question as I ride a Murmur. Steve Jones review confirmed my I initial thoughts and your review sealed the deal for buying it.
I know the answer but am always curious to know if all these fancy linkages and sliders (read very marketable) most bikes have are worth the added maintenance time and cost (and also initial cost) compared to a simple single pivot. Or is it simply marketing and marginal differences at best.
I'm a firm believer you are best to spend the extra money on a Storia V3 (or similar v. high end shock) which I will do one day when funds permit. Keep the frame simple and let the shock do the magic.
