I drives my wife mad when I call chickens "The Yardbirds." She has very little tolerance for me.

What's your sag at? How much compression damping are you running (Fit4)? How much rebound damping are you running? Do you like a super progressive fork (4 volume spacers is pretty progressive)? 

With someone has specific as you in regards to bike fit and bar height, then I'd say yes.  Its not necessarily just this 10mm, but once you get to the edges of adjustments, then every 10 mm counts.  I too like my bars low and pull every trick I can to get them to *that* spot....lever-TT contact be damned!  I think I'm at a very workable position for me, but I've contemplated going to that FSA (or Syntace) super drop stem.  What length of travel fork did you have prior?  (whats the difference in axle to crown?)

It's more convoluted that that. Even the Yardbirds version was a cover.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazed_and_Confused_(song) Anyway, it drives my wife mad when I call Led Zeppelin "The Yardbirds."

I am avoiding lowering it 10mm for now as tearing the fork apart sounds like a PITA for such a small change, but it's on the agenda eventually. Is 10mm really that big a difference? It sounds like a need to change the damper if I want to go lower than 130.
