Hi Mike. At your weight, I don't believe you'd need to move to a lighter damper tune than the previous stock coil tune (C60). I weigh ~75kg kitted up and was able to find settings suitable though was mostly at the more open end, so there should be good range for you to achieve a solid setup. You're rebound setting also seems normal for your bigger size than me. You could try opening it up but it may get too active and fast for your other settings. The bike you ride will also influence the settings as your weight may be distributed differently than mine.
I'd say get somewhere you're happy with and unless you feel like there's room for improvement, leave it and enjoy the rides you have!
Thanks for reading and your kind words.
Edit: Mike, it's worth mentioning that the stock rebound tune (R40) has also been updated; it's now R30. I'm still using an R40 tune for the rebound and don't need more for the coil. I may have benefitted from the lighter tune with the air spring, as I did test it wide open but settled on one in.
