I am speaking with Maxton, since they are highly reccomended and local!
Maxton Option A is "conversion" which is valving/ springs etc at a cost of £500 ish. They can set it up when installing and proably won't need further adjustment, but...

I'm concerned that I may have regrets on upgrading internals on forks which are not
fully adjustable later on.

Maxton Option B to go the whole hog with with cartridges and all the whistles & bells is £900ish

I am thinking that perhaps there are some better forks available used that will:
Fit my bike without too much hassel
Are fully adjustable
After a Option A £500 conversion will be almost as good as the Option B £900, but will cost overall less and have all the adjustability.
