Ohlins: Emulsified vs Separated

Does anyone have any experience with the Ohlins emulsified or separated shocks. I am considering replacing my stock shocks and would like some first hand opinions.

Has anyone purchase the emulsified and felt the need to upgrade to the separated.

The emulsified come in a couple hundred cheaper than the separated, which is always appealing, however, I'd hate spend the cash if I am only going to want to upgrade to the separated.

Thanks for the input.

I should say I bought them for my Glide - my FXDXT has decent enough shocks and I normally ride that solo. From what I can make out, reading posts here on Ohlins for several months now, whichever variety they get most owners are pleased with them.
