There's a fair bit to be said for us tall guys to have the weight distribution such that a somewhat softer fork (especially off the top) is what works best for making grip, especially for the long-of-leg variety where we're really leaning on the rear shoulder knobs to finish executing turns anyway just because that's where our mass distribution puts us.
I do wish it would makes sense for NSMB to do a comparison of a refreshed fork with a tune versus some brand new OEM product, but I don't exactly see manufacturers lining up to be part of that comparison, unless the specific thing they're trying to show off is how adjustable and versatile their suspension offering(s) are.
