Thank you for the insightful response. I am leaning towards your suggestion, which is definitely more economical sense than the RWC for a wear part, plus I can finally use my $1 credit at UC.
Oh yeah, I resolved my previous issues with my sb66. Fox put a tad bit more oil in the air side. Talked to Nate at Yeti, he was pretty understanding about my LBS experience. The owner of the LBS sent me a harsh email after Nate asked them what happened. Basically, I got banned from the LBS. Oh well, I guess I will have to wrench my bike the proper way. LOL.
