I have a Beone Nirvana 1.0 with a rockshox bar 1.1 shock and want to replace it with a shock that locks out as I feel that eliminating as much pedal bob as possable may help with hill climbs.

Money being the key factor, the only suitable shock that is well reviewed is the Manitou Radium RL Rear shock. Any opinions on the shock and does any one think its worth shedding out £109 or should I just stick to what Ive got?
