Its all trial and error and getting everything to work together.
Its odd that you mention your 2011 chasis preffered lighter springs. On my 2010 I favoured .46 fork springs and a 5.6 rear, yet the best I've found on the new chasis is the .44 and 5.2 shock. I think a 5.4 will work with some damping adjustments. The 2010 shock had a fair amount of work.
One thing for sure is that the new chasis responds much better to less race sag. 98mm feels magic on it, where the older chasis felt best to me around the 105mm range.
