@Merwinn I've often wondered the same. For example, Yeti specs all models of the SB130 with a DPX2 and where they offer an upgrade it is just to get the Kashima of the Factory model. If you read the Yeti forums you'd think the bike would hardly be rideable with a DPX2 the way some people talk about how the X2 "transforms the bike." I read somewhere a Yeti engineer talking about the characteristics that make the DPX2 preferable for the SB130 and I've been totally happy with it. It was easy to swap a volume spacer and add a few more PSI than recommended to get it working well for me.
