Well heres what Ive been through with my Roco.

First off the Roco is reallllly plush, especially on my RMX. But I just sent it out to be worked on for the second time. So while its gone I ordered a Vivid 5.1. The only thing I dont like about the Vivd is that you cant put air in it like the DHX and Roco.

thats not a bad thing in a way although it does have nitrogen in it,but i must admit the small bump compression and rebound are better on the vivid.
