The cascade link really did make a huge improvement in the leverage curve. I had the same issues with the Topaz as Dave did, but that wasn't the case after installing the CL.
I also went down the Long-shock road, with a 216x63 DVO Jade (not Jade-X), and a 2mm offset bushing, and that's the mode it's been in ever since. I thought I'd miss the climb switch, but I find it totally unnecessary now. I gladly trade that for HSC/LSC adjustments on the Jade.
