Wow... lots of good options here.
Context is important though... Don't forget guys/gals that David hasn't eluded to setting his bike up to set lap records and competitive racing, but I do agree that a rider should do what makes sense to keep the bike more capable than the rider or at least on the same level. If not... riders end up overbuying on parts... and never take full advantage of the parts purchased, ie see the return on investment. But... if your gunna spend $400 on a shock, might as well spend a bit more and get the best possible for the later resell value. It just makes fiscal sense, even if the rider will never see the true ability of the part.
For example; A N level rider has an entire season budget of 1k and needs front end work. They can spend $700 on the front and only get to see the track 1 time :\. Or... spend $250 on springs and oil and get to the track 3 or 4 times. Yin and yang ya see...
