Fox Float RLC 140 QR 15 here (bit of a mouthful!).

Much better fork than the Revelation it replaced.

I'll throw my bit in.

Fox Van 32R. I have the older QR version on my Stiffee. Great fork. Very little maintenance/faff (as opposed to my Floats). I also reckon the action on a coil fork is more smooth than my air forks. In my opinion there is no point paying for the Lock out and compression versions unless you are a real fettler.

In summary I'd go for the new 15mm Van 32R

i replaced pikes with van 32r qr 15's from mojo, although not quite as stiff they are fantastic forks very plush and great(simple)damping!
in fact i like them so much i bought a pair of van 32rlc qr 15's for my other bike.

Pikes. Been through several forks on the hunt for one- Manitou, Magura and Marzocchi and the Pikes are finally the ones for me. I ran Fox forks on my race bike for half of last season and was very impressed by them if you can afford them.
