Thats an old video, pressumably with the roller bearings. AFAIK thats what allows them to work equally well while under turning and leaning stresses. Not sure how they've gotten around this with bushings.
Mine will have the roller bearings, and a modern damper. Its probably going to be delivered with a standard 29er conversion limit, leaving 100m of travel. My short headtube, and the nature of the clamps, should mean I can pull the whole strut 10mm further down, snap out 10mm of limiter, and net 110mm of travel. This will slacken my HTA by 0.5deg. Which on paper is a good thing when compared to how I'd use the bike with a rigid fork fitted. I'll have a 1.5" headtube so I can allways fit a angleset headset, and change this back.
So a very flexible set up. Cuz I'm scared of feck things up I guess.
