What Rockshox damper do I want?

I have a 2012 Rockshox Sektor Gold TK. 29", 20mm, tapered, solo air, 120mm. I would like to upgrade the turnkey compression damper. I have been pretty impressed by the plushness of the fork, but it dives a bit much, I would like more LSC. It uses a dual flow rebound piston, which I believe is the same as the higher end forks. Correct?
incorrect.

Trying to figure out what compression damper would be best. Seems like the Moco RLT is the damper I want.

Is there any difference between the 26" and 29" models?
For example:
Revelation Moco RLT damper is $83.

Rebo Moco RLT is $103. What's the diff?

Getting it figured out, I think.

Rebound assy moves in the stanchion. Must have rebound rod the correct length for fork travel. Compression assy is fixed, and I believe, same length between all RS 32mm singlecrowns. I haven't figured out what the difference is between Reba, Rev, Sid dampers that are all moco dna rlt?

I'm pretty sure the Rev dna rlt comp damper and blackbox reba rebound damper are what I want. I wish someone who knows more about this stuff would chime in "yes that will work well, noticable improvement".

I will prolly bug the suspension guru at Fanatik, and look at the various damper assys in real life.
