Andreani

The S2R is a bit lacking in a few departments:
Braking -> I have a set of gold calipers I could use with new discs but I think the braking is OK, could be better but other than the esthetics I don't feel a need to change that at the moment.
Lighting -> As standard great if you're buzzing round town but out in the sticks dire at anything over walking pace, thanks to Mr Gazza's rings that's sorted now.
Suspension -> I've been really spoilt by the 748R which just floats unlike the S2R that more clunks so am looking at this as my priority modification. First target is the front end as I don't see the point of fitting a good rear shock when the front is naff. No ammount of tinkering is going to sort the front end so I'm looking at a more radical solution.
So I'm looking for any thoughts on the Andreani Evo replacement cartridges.

Other option would be a new (to the bike) set of adjustables, of course these would need a strip and clean before fitting and probably new yokes to suit. I'd think that this would all up cost more than the replacement cartridges.

Anyone tried these Andreani's on the non-adjustable Marzocchi's?
