What bike, what use? I reckon the 32s at 150mm are just a wee bit pushed, great damping but even the 15mm one feels relatively flexy compared to a Revelation. Not enough to be a massive problem, but enough that I'm glad I don't have to deal with it...

OTOH the Revelations feel just a wee bit too keen to use up the middle of their travel, or at least mine do- the newer ones may be slightly improved there.

Still, it's not like you'll horribly regret buying either, barring Fox cliche'd stanchion wear anyway. Both really pretty fantastic.

I'd go for Revs, purely because they seem to be more reliable and can be had cheap compared to Fox.
