Whats the advantages/disadvantages between the Revelation 426 uturn coil fork and the Revelation 409 uturn Air forks?

If the Air forks are going to perform as well then I will plump for them as they are 1/2 lb lighter...

All thoughts welcome

    Which year fork are we talking about?

    Uturn air has a more limited travel range, but lighter and more tunable. 409 I believe is an internal floodgate rather than internal. for 2008 the coil has gone up to 4.5lbs in weight. RS site lists the differences.
