I did mention this in my emails, but they seem confident it’s not an issue/something they can work around. If the EXT Aria would fit I would have gone down that route, but it looks like I already have the best of what will fit in air shock options. I think the frame has design has given them a bit of a curveball!

My 2 cents, I'd be a bit wary of a coil unless the J-Tech guys are really certain - the reason being the Pace has a flat leverage curve, whereas (if you ignore Starling, which you probably should not) received wisdom is that if the suspension doesn't provide progression then the shock has to.
I tried coils on that frame and couldn't square the circle of small bump suppleness without bottoming out on bigger stuff. It may be that clever damping would, however, fix this.
