Maybe I'm still realing from my own experience 18 years ago when I got my first "official" MTB and was sold an DB CoilX FS instead of a HT or even better a rigid, for measly budget I had. The fork on that thing was deadly AF, you never knew what it would do, might actually work and compress a bit or all the way or not. FYI, my bike if sold in the US back then was a <$500US model, so to be expected, but I've since looked at and weighed more modern alternatives on the around $1k mark and they're still damn heavy in the 6-7lb range, which makes the front end feel like lead, hard AF to lift the front or move it about, not fun.
