Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

What did Guy Kesteven say about it? I'm sure he was positive?

There's a lot to be achieved with mountain bike suspension

1. Should pedal efficiently
   
2. Should be supple
   
3. Should move when climbing
   
4. Should reduce slowing you down
   
   

And the linkage provides some of these properties and the damper others, presumably Pace's is good because otherwise they'd use a different design.
