True on the Marzocchis:  I used to have a very slack Hard Tail with a 1st generation Marz Monster T Jr.--wonderful fork!  I had an old Z1 coil as well on another bike.  Yeah, forks have gotten lighter, and air spring technology is amazing now, but I miss the bullet proof, smooth feel of those older marzocchi coil and oil forks.

I haven't seen a high end Marzocchi on a bike in years, though.  But I know they are still out there  (and stil making great MXer forks as well.).

Svend, note that Bush and I both agree a QR fork isn't worth the upgrade.   Try the bigger, Tubeless tires first, maybe?
