And are there any other forks that should be considered for the front end of a Rocket alongside the usual suspects of:
Fox Float
RS Rev
Fit a Bomber 44 RC3ti. Honestly.
Marzochhi Microswitch TA 55's are the Marz forks being talked about, plus recently released 44's
If your asking the question then a base model will suit you fine from any of the major manafactures......
REALLY keen to hear if the 44 micro 120-150s are being enjoyed as much as the 55 and 44 RCT4ti s.

This guy knows a thing or two.
Rik - just because I don't have total recall on the model numbers doesn't mean I could tell the difference between them.
Yes 44 and 55 these are the ones. Thanks for these more constructive contributions.
I've got a 2012 marzocchi 55 CR 130-170mm fitted to my Rocket and I think its great. I keep it set at 170mm as I don't find it much help lowering it for climbing. The rocket climbs so well, what a bike.
The fork was £400 on Winstanleys. so relatively good value.
I have a set of 2012 55 CR's surplus suddenly. Only about 2-3 months old, immaculate and unmarked, steerer is 210 from memory £300
Yes 44 and 55 these are the ones.
More specifially, the 44 and 55 with the RC3 damping and ti spring.
They are excellent.
What chapa said. Even more lovely as Marz are still unloved after the bad years, and consequently have often been available old stock half price. Currently putting some 55RC3Tis to the test in verbier courtesy of Phil and Lucy's guiding (bikeverbier) and they are sublime. Even more so at just over 400quid....
I've had a few rides recently on a set of bog-standard Marzocchi 55R's. Really lovely. Great to ride.
FWIW had the 44 micro ti's been available when I was in the market for 120/150 adjustables I think they would have been the forks I bought. Hindsight is a wonderful thing !
