Maybe others can comment further n this as I have yet to experiment with my suspension, but for your weight, I would check to see if a stiffer suspension/elastomer will help with getting more power to the pedals. Mine tends to bob a bit & I lose a bit of power when going up hills.

By the way, just my opinion, but the asking price is not that out of line from what I have seen for used Birdys over the last 2 years.
