I now have platform damping options and the whole compression stroke is smoother than before. It makes it feel like you are going slower when you are actually going faster, which means it is a lot easier to ride fast!

The 20mm hex axle dissappoints me a little compared to my older Fox 36. I'm not convinced there's any advantage mechanically vs. a round axle, you need to use both 4 and 6mm Allen keys, and there's no lip on the inside of the dropouts to help with alignment when you're installing the wheel. Fox's system was better, even before they made it tool-less. My Drake as the Absolute damper, and after I break in the fork, I'll have to decide whether it's worth upgrading to the Absolute Plus. I'll be interested to read your review. I just picked up a Drake 120 for my Sultan from Jensen, and should be riding it this weekend.
