Side note about the dorado, one of the best forks I have ever felt was a dorado, one of the worst forks I have ever felt is a dorado. Make sure you look after it, they take alot more care to keep, get it serviced regularly otherwise it will go in the ****e heap. Set it up nice and run something like fork honey on the the stanctions/seal every now and then and she will be like butter for you. Also if you go down this road get a Dorado with TPC+ not the SPD or MRD-X Works version, they lick. TPC+ is one of my favourite suspension technologies.

New monster T is freakin stupid, the 99 and 00 Monsters were the best ever, indestructable, hell lighter than the new ones and have a better feel. The new ones weigh a ton and are not worth it.

Whoever said don't worry about speed spike obviously do not throw an SSVF equipped fork down rocky, highspeed trail with breaking ruts. It hurts your wrists!!! If you can get something better than SSVF if you are fast and going to be taking quick hits in succession.
