I just dont want my 2k dollar investment feeling cheap that's all, and from my past experiences, sag=cheap; which looking back, is an entirely untrue statement from the sounds of it

The newer shocks(coil and air) pedal very well. I have 7" of rear travel on my bike and run about 35% of sag. My legs let me down far more than my bike.
