Bottomless tokens?

Does anybody have any experience with these for modern Rockshox? I recently got a new FS 29er bike, whose suspension is certainly a fair sight better than what I had before on my 90's hard tail. This has left me tackling more and more aggressive terrain at more and more aggressive speeds. Which has resulted in me spending an unending amount of time adjusting my shocks. The forks are 2013 Reba RL solo air 100mm, and I just can't get them right. For my #160 riding weight, recommended PSI of 100+ might as well be locked out, and to get 25%-30% sag I need to let out to paltry 50 PSI. I settled on 70-80 PSI as good middle ground for 90% of my riding, but that's where the trouble starts. I still bottom out way too frequently, and adjusting my compression rate lower just makes all the rest of the ride more work. Trying to research this, I discovered a seemingly ignored tech feature of "bottomless tokens" that plug into the air chamber, reduce your air volume, and ramps up resistance at the end of the travel. Given my relatively short experience with modern, non-coil suspension, this SEEMS like the right solution for my problem, or maybe I'm just expecting the Reba's to do too much.
