Hi all, thought i'd open myself up to advice and opinions (all very welcome!) here with this question:

What's the best replacement rear shock for my bike?

Facts:

Bike is a 2015 Kona Precept DL
The current rear shock is a RockShox Monarch R.
required specs are 7.5x2.0 (190mm x 51mm)

I've swapped out the brakes, discs, levers, derailleurs, cranks, cassette, chain for new XT and i'm mostly super happy, but i'd like a lock-out rear shock.
I thought the Monarch RL would be a fine replacement, but I like the idea of Fox's CTD settings. Then I see that DT Swiss and Manitou do some nice stuff too, and then i get lost in the internet...

Any thoughts?
