You heard wrong!!
Vic really depends on the riding you do. If your just a trail rider or dune rider and not looking to adjust your suspension based on each and every change in terrain, then works is a great shock. If you need very accurate suspension control cause "every second counts" to you, then look at some elka's or some of the high end adjustable works. Buy what you need and not what you don't. If you hit big jumps and rough terrain for long periods of time, then get rezi's with them also.
