The advantage to Edelbrocks is that you get improved handling without sacrificing ride quality. On rough roads, an internal valve opens allowing fluid to flow faster, allowing the suspension to soak up the bumps and dips. On smoother roads, the valve closes to slow down fluid flow and reduce body roll.
I am familiar with the advertising and how they work. My real world experience with them is they are harsh on rough roads, really not much better than the air shocks I had on.

Then you definitely don't want to switch to Koni's. If you're looking for ride quality, I'd recommend KYB GR-2's.
