Personally (and with suspension, it's always personal) I found air forks work much better when run as linear as possible. Removing all the tokens, running the pressure so you get decent mid support, and ignore the arbitrary sag figure.
More tokens, less pressure is the common mistake that actually makes your fork feel worse. Initial stroke is too soft, there's no mid stroke support because there's not enough air in it, then it hits a wall of progression in the end. 90% of suspension setup is getting your spring rate right, and by right, I mean it just feels right
