For me, there are 3 purposes to an air ride system:
1. Style - Looks cool slammed when parked.
2. Convenience - You can adjust height on the fly, so when I know I'll be riding thru some curves, for example, I can put it all the way up to max height, if I want to, to avoid scraping as much.
3. Comfort - Stiffness/rebound can also be adjusted on the fly. You can make the suspension to feel stiff or as soft as you want - dump all the air and feel like you're on a rigid chopper or take it up a few inches, adjust the rebound and feel like you're riding in a Caddy.

Why not link one of the other ones you gave up? Or better yet just the links to jd where he explains the whole thing?

I'll make a video like that as soon as my GOPro camera batteries finish charging.

Arnott was out before Shotgun took over the scene. I personally have the Arnott and wish I had the Shotgun. The Arnott won't raise while your seated like the Shotgun can
