whats up with progressive shocks.

[NighthawkVTX]

For all of you that ride in Oklahoma, you know how tough the roads can get. I was wondering if progressive shocks would help?
Just curious what makes them so popular (expensive)

I installed some progressive rears  on my interstate a couple of years ago and they were smoother, quieter, and haven't bottomed out like the standard shocks could with a passenger. They honestly are clearly a better shock but I wouldn't say its like the night and day difference that people often refer to.
