Worth upgrading my suntours to dart 3's?

Hi i purchased a specialized hardrock recently and was wondering if the rockshox dart 3s would be a worthwhile upgrade over these suntour sf11-xct's? http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/dstore ... 26%27.html
Ive started doing alot of trails around the surrey hills and the suntours really suck at absorbing the shock, so am looking for something better.

i have just got some rock shox recon gold from here http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FORSRECGLDA ... th_poplock obviously depending on your budget the rebas are only £249.99 but the recons are really light compared the shitty suntours i had on my GT.0

Yeah thats over my budget, could possibly stretch to these rockshox tora tk's http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-RockShox ... 3f0c23b4dc0

The Recon Silver from On One are a better deal.

While I haven't tried the Suntours, I have some Dart 3's on my old hardtail. I find they are very poor at soaking up the bumps. I wouldn't spend the money on what is probably a very marginal upgrade.0

If you'd have been up front about this I'm sure the OP would have told us

Yeah read quite alot of people saying the same thing, guess it wouldnt be a worthwhile investment, do you know much about these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270786606300? ... 1423.l26490 -

Cheaper, the Tora's are a good solid option from RS, much better than the Dart's, but not as good as Reba's.

The Raidon I mentioned is about the best fork for this money. It may be a 'suntour' but they make some good forks - the same way RS make some bad ones.0

I've got Dart 3s and they aren't the best. I want rid but I'm putting up with them until I can afford an entire new bike.0
