I like the idea of the bushings sitting in a large volume of lubricating oil. I like the idea of increasing the ramp up progression of the air spring by reducing the volume of air( add oil) True open bath can be a hybrid coil/ air spring most were. I don't think semi open bath with an expansion bladder has all these attributes. I believe Avalanche is still in business making precise tuned open bath dampers for almost any fork on the market.
If I somehow manage to destroy my 55 I have a nice non creaky 180 mm travel Durolux with a visually assuring 20 mm axle to give me confidence.
Bottom line the hell with new and improved make stuff that last.
