Adding 40mm of travel to a bike will completely change its personality. I swapped a 120mm fork for a 160mm fork and it's a completely different bike with completely different geometry. It slackened it out quite a bit, so it's more stable descending, but it also turns slower now and doesn't go uphill as well.
