How's that cane creek shock doing for you??? Highly considering one myself as it seems the thing to do.

Did you go standard length, or did you push into 57?

Standard length, love the damn thing. It's truly surprising what it does to the ride of the bike. Truth be told, you do need to spend time tuning it in, and take some time to understand what the dials do. But holy jesus, once you have it dialed to your riding preference, it brings capability up to another level. There's also not change in performance over those long descents.
I have to say, with the CK Helm and DB IL Coil the Troy is faster than my Spartan (on RockShox) was on mosts DH tracks now, and is more fun. I almost went to buy a Spartan since my regular rides are getting pretty hairy. But the Troy is now handling those with grace, and it's still capable of long days in the saddle. It's also got more pop, due to the ability to tune it to that preference.
The CS works, and it works well. Climbing anywhere you'd need traction is better, but flats is not as efficient.
All the glowing review aside, what was said before holds true. If you ride mostly smooth trails, don't bother. If you ride rough, loose, or steep, the CK coil will bring capability up another level.
Pros:
Ups capability, traction, stability
Tuning to your liking
CS works really well
Minimal weigh difference compared to piggybacks
Consistency
Cons:
Tuning can be a pain if you don't like to
Shorter service intervals
Slight knock in CS mode
Expensive

Why did you go with the inline coil over the piggyback coil?

Weight, and bottle clearance. And honestly, there's no reason to go with the piggyback over inline on a trail bike.
I also don't think they make the piggyback version in the correct length.

If anyone's looking to eek out a few more mm's from their dropper, getting a lower profile seat like the Selle Italia Nepal will get you some additional clearance. Side benefit, they're super comfortable, and have a really nice rounded shape at the rear which make it really easy to move over the back of the bike.
I just ordered a new OneUp dropper in 170mm. I ride a medium frame and I'm 5'8"ish. I think it should fit.

Here's a pic comparing the Nepal to the Chromag.

I am after a new 29'er 19 Devinci... but the distributor Haven is not supplying these anymore - bar other brands e-bicycles.... absolutely gutted. I have a 2015 Spartan - and now I am going to have to finish the build and ride that but I was never really taken with 650b wheels at all.
