His wife is light and she really benefited from the coil due to the almost non-existent striction of the seals. I think that fork is a little heavier than an air fork like the pike, but as with everything, there is probably a trade-off.
If it were me I would buy the Mattoc (if 140mm is sufficient) but I really like all of the suspension I've bought from Manitou (and all of the Hayes bicycle group). They produce excellent products and if there is an issue, their support is excellent.
