I wish there was a way to overlay the linear curve on top of the graph I posted above. I think it would help to see exactly where the differences are. I could hazard a guess at what that might look like but it would be a guess.
Apples to apples comparisons are going to be hard to come by in terms of real world feel. You would have to find two cars that were very similarly set up with the lone exception being the digressive curving and put them through the paces under the same circumstances. Not very likely. Too many variables to realistically account for.
I already had the Bilsteins and they were in need of replacement. I don't remember the numbers now but I think the take-away is that if you're at the point of needing to replace your shocks, there is minimal cost difference (maybe even no difference?) in doing a re-valve vs buying new. And if you're going to re-valve why not go ahead and do the re-valve on the digressive curve? (assuming it is done properly of course) The number I have in my head is the price difference was about $50 each but don't hold me to that.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.
