Dinan Suspension vs MP/Ohlins

Hey guys.

Am thinking of going with the Dinan suspension, as the details and reviews say it's softer around town and firms up at the track.

What would I miss out on going with Dinan vs a full coilover setup like Ohlin & BMW MP?

Thanks.

Dinan is a coilover setup

Thanks for the non-input, but I'll clarify, is there anything to be missed going the Dinan route, vs also getting new struts, e.g., Ohlin or BMW MP?

Pros/cons of these different setups?

Thanks.

It seems the biggest difference is Dinan relies on bump stops and packers, vs "clickable" dampening adjustments.

Do you guys find yourselves adjusting your dampening much between different tracks?

Part of me likes that flexibility being available, but part of me doesn't want to mess with dampening adjustments just for HPDE.
