Switchback shocks

Hey all, I put Progressive 412 shocks on my 2012 Switchback and I don't like them. I've adjusted preload many times and they just gotta go now. I've been eyeing Ohlins Blackline shocks with the Piggyback reservoir. If I were to get these, would I run into problems with the Piggyback not clearing the bags or can I move the piggybacks around, out of the way of the bags? Second, any major differences between getting 12.2 and 13.4 in Heavy Duty shocks? Would the taller shock cause the bike to ride differently? Any info is appreciated before I pull the trigger on these. Here's the link to the ones I'm eyeing:

Shocks can be turned around, I wouldnt get heavy duty unless your carrying significant extra weight in luggage regularly.

Why not get non reservoir with rebound adjustment?
