Would you do it again?
The premium ride shocks are easy to set for different weights. Just a matter of loosening the left bag and tilting it out for clearance to twist the ****. I ride two up often and don't bottom out. I'm 260 and the wife is 135.
I had the 940's for about a month. There is a somewhat noticable differance from the stock air shocks that came on my Ultra Limited, but not for what they cost.
I took them off and sold them. They made the bike sit a tad lower and still seemed to bottom out over not too big of bumps... I weigh around 200lbs and my wife is 115 at the most.
I think the benefits of draining the stock air shocks and re-filling with heavier shock oil actually worked out better for me... certainly improved the ride and obviously much less expensive and cost effective.
If I feel it does not work out or remain effective with just the "oil change" then I will look into some specialized Ohlin tuned shocks next season.
It comes down to the old adage about you get what you pay for...I just did'nt feel the Progressive shocks were worth the cost, or made a substantial amount of change to the overall ride or "feel" or handling of the bike.
