If you are bottoming out you either have the fork set up wrong, or is using the bike/fork outside its intended scope.
Moving to a longer travel fork is unlikely to be a good fix.
The rest of the bike will ALSO take a beating beyond its scope. A longer fork - if the bike still rides nice - will mainly mask the problem.
I'd pick the RS before the Suntour any day.
