ill admit that my 55r 08 had a few issues, had to be sent it 3 times for warranty but when they broke for the 4th time marzo sent me brand new 2010 55rv. id have to say they're pretty aswome forks.
I have a 2008 55r that was changed to an open bath and it has worked without any issues for the last 2 years. If you have it set up right it can handle big hits really well and sensitive to smaller bumps.
