Sensa-Trac Load Adjuster

I got my tax money back, putting together my shopping cart for my suspension overhaul.

I am looking at the Monroe Sensa-Trac, Load Adjuster.

Any thoughts on this?

I also found these at O'Reilly and they are also sold through LMC so that offers some confidence.

KYB 565043 - Monotube Gas Shock | O'Reilly Auto Parts

But I like the idea of the sensa-trac name (heard it a million times or more) And the Load Adjuster springs would be nice, well if they don't make for terrible ride quality.

So does anyone have any experience with either or both of these shocks?

Anyone have any info or input or experience with either of the shocks I mentioned? I see the clear advantage of the load adjusters, my only concern is that they might make for a REALLY stiff or bouncy ride when unloaded. This is definitely something I want to avoid. Also considering that the KYB option is twice the expense of the Sensa-Trac option. So anyone who really knows shocks can chime in here please.
