Just to buck the trend, I've got nothing but great things to say about my manitou Skarab forks as long as they stick to their intended use of xc and falling off.[:)]

Probably too late to be much help but....

I have 2006 AM1s and compared to the TALAS I had on the bike before they are heavier, stiffer, plusher and better controlled. You will find AM2s easy to set up compared to SLs as AM2s have only one air chamber. Also ETA is a boon when climbing and much more useful than ATA IMO.

As for 20mm vs QR you will not have a problem and your weight is an irrelevance since the point of a through axle is to provide a bottom clamp to the forks to increase torsional stiffness which the AMs have plenty of.

yes it will help hugely during climbs as it pulls the front end down
