Help me choose my fork...

I would go with the Comp, a friend of mine got one and loves it, once in awhile he has to readjust the air but it isn't often and the shock works great.

Well, sort of. I shipped my busted Z1 off to Marzocchi, and they'll
send me
a MX Comp ETA 105mm next week. Or I could upgrade it to a MX Pro ETA
for a little more $$. And maybe add the Marzocchi integrated fender.

I've used an SKS Shockboard for a long time. Works pretty well.
Any advantage to the Marzocchi integrated fender?

AFAIK, the only difference between the Pro ETA & Comp ETA is external
rebound adjust. I expect the Comp to be easy to adjust after I remove
the top
cap, and I only expect to use it while dialing the fork in. Not sure
the adjuster
is worth another $35.

What do y'all think?

Get the ext controls, trust me. Internal adjustments are easy, but time
consuming. You'll have to open it, adjust it hoping you got it right.
Close her up, ride her.... and then do it all over again till you have it
right.

Well worth the $35.

Oh, and I kept the guts of the Z1. This leaves me with a set of 105mm
travel soft
springs, and a set of 130mm travel pro-wind springs, as well as the
damping cartridges
with external adjusters and 30mm (I think) upper legs in good visual
condition. I want to
see if I need one of the soft springs in the new fork, and after that
I'd be happy to sell all
this stuff cheap to someone in the SF Bay Area. Or, if nobody needs the
springs, I could
toss it...

What year are the carts?

Good man. You may have just saved yourself more anguish and suffering than
you could possibly imagine.
