I've had a GD since they came out, still a great product and run a four year old version on my XC bike. Put a KS i900r on my big trail bike late last year, like it much better than the GD. The lever is great (takes the place of the in-board clamp on lock-on grips), 5" travel, unlimited stop points, no play in it so far (about 8 months old, sees heavy use). A bit heavy is the major problem and will lock up on me every now and then (need to watch the cable tension, clamp tension). I would recommend a KS to anyone not too worried about weight.
Having said that, I'm waiting for the new Rock Shock post and will buy one ASAP. A friend has been testing one for quite a while now and we got to play with another one in Ashland a few weeks ago. REALLY nice, kind of a cross between the KS and GD.
