RS Monarch RT3... PUSH tuned?

Anyone on here with a Monarch RT3 that's had it PUSH tuned by TF, noticeable performance increase?
Reason I ask - my new frameset (FTM Carbon) came with an RT3, on past experiences I wasnt all that impressed with this shock, they were ok and did the job but like my grandfather used to say - "I wouldn't travel for it"
The FTM has a funny/older i2i rear shock length of 195mm, except for a RP2 or DT XM there isn't a lot out there with that i2i length that I've been able to find. I might still switch to the rp2 or xm but want to know if the PUSH tuning is worth looking into.
Cheers!

I would argue that PUSH is nearly always "worth" doing as you get the shock tuned specifically for you. It will have a greater impact on say an aftermarket shock, that has a generic tune, versus one that has been tuned for that frame.
Have you ridden the shock ?

Just curious, why would you want that ?

maybe he means high speed

Jump landings and G out compressions are relatively low speed.
Low speed would be a landing perfectly onto a transition or riding "wavy" fast flowing trail as the stantions will move more slowly.
Relative to hitting a root section fast the hit from a landing is pretty slow.
"launched drop to transition landing = 6 clicks of high speed compression damping to maximise landing control and handling"
"launched drop to flat landing = 10 clicks of high speed compression damping to maximise landing control and handling and minimise harsh bottom out"

I have very little compression at all in my Boxxers because I can't seem to get hold of a medium spring and the firm is too stiff.
