A couple points of reference - Aaron Wegner ran the Marzocchis on stock springs on his 250 Race last season, and he's AA speed and ~190-195#. This after going up from 0.42s to 0.46s on the 45mm Zokes on the Six Days. I ran 0.44s in my Sachs fronts last year.

One the shock, if leverage ration is close to the same (I haven't measured it) the rate won't be any different, and the springs on my two Sachs and one Ohlins bikes have been fine for my weight (200#) riding level (mid-B) and terrain (Michigan sand whoops, mixed soil trails).
