I haven't used the Recon, but I'll weigh in on the coil vs air thing. Most riders that I've talked to seem to prefer coil. Coil offers linear travel and a plusher feel. However, I'm probably in the minority here, but I like air forks. I like how easy it is to just add or remove air from the fork rather than either dealing with the stock spring or trying to find a soft spring. I do weigh all of 110 lbs though, so YMMV, but I figured I'd throw that in just on the off-chance you are a lightweight.
