I rode a set of stock EC race 48mm CC zokes back to back with my semi revalved 45mm OC zokes. The 48s were much better at dealing with g outs, and higher speed hits, I found them about the same at dealing with trail trash, they didn't blow through the stroke on bigger hits and didn't transfer harshness back to the bars as much as the 45s. They were probably still a bit stiff for my tiny 65kg, but I could have easily raced them with confidence.
