You can not attribute the ride difference in the Tricross to those Zertzes. Tire size, tread, and pressure have way more influence on ride quality.
This guy said it all. Some goo in the fork ain't no shock absorber. Get big tires and run em low if you want to eat up some road shock. Most pros and competitive racers run tubular tires for the sheer fact that they can get the tire pressures around the 40psi mark. Or ride a mountain bike. Or, better yet, don't run over big bumpy things.
