I'm on the RS Deluxe Ultimate Air. I air up and down constantly because of the camera bag weight and I like to maintain some ride quality rather than wallowing around in the mid-travel when I'm carrying the pack. I don't think this bike demands a coil but I'd love to try one at some point 'cause I'm a gear whore.
FWIW: The RS Deluxe Ultimate Air has been great and was highly recco'd to me by a few of the SRAM folks who have been rolling around on them on their personal bikes for a while including a few Arrivals. The settings took a bit dial in but it's been amazing since iI added a click of low-speed.
As far as the slower trail comment...I don't really know what to do with that. Yes, the bike likes to go fast but it's been just fine on the classic jank and I haven't ever felt under-gunned.
