Are these a good buy for my 2006 Trek 4500?

I was planning on buying new wheels first but these look like they could be where my pocket money goes this month.

I currently have the original Rock Shox J1's.

Can I expect any significant improvement in performance and/or weight?

    i would go wheels first.

    dart to tora is not that bigger an upgrade.

    I must admit I've always dreamed about buying Rebas but it seems a little bit silly with an entry level bike like mine.

    Still, I put XT cranks on it!

    I ordered some of these yesterday to put on my Hardrock Sport 06.
    Are they a pretty decent upgrade for the cash ? Also are they tricky to fit ?
    Thanks.

    Dart one though, not a drop of damping in sight. That fork was excellent for the money, massive reducution... pity I bough them all hehe.

    Oh well - if they've sold out that's made my mind up for me....

    I wonder what fork I should aim for after I've bought my wheels (from the LBS)...
