I am looking at replacing my Fox Vanilla on my Kona and I was wondering if the Rock Shox Ario would be a good upgrade or if I shoould spend quite a bit more abd get a better shock

I tried one out on an Iron Horse MKIII and was less than impressed. Harsh top-out with anything less than overly slow rebound settings, and mediocre compression damping. I would be interested in trying the Pearl or MC, but I wasn't impressed with the Ario.
