I’ve found the stroke of the m.2 to be very controlled with no trouble using excessive amounts. Similar to an air fork, I’ve generally had 10mm travel to spare for those big oh shit moments, which is how I prefer to setup my forks, so that’s nice.
Otherwise, the two perform similarly but I had to lighten the valving on the HBO on the Smashpot to get a smooth bottom of stroke, before that it was too abrupt for my weight and tastes. Hope this helps!
Edit: It’s worth mentioning that the coil sprung m.2 weighs quite a bit less than the Smashpot 36.
