Sure that's the reason that "default" "normal" mode is mellowed down so much...

They could've made it a selectable choice for the driver to decide what mode is his personal default and that wouldn't have affected their fuel efficiency claims.

The MSSs were far quieter than the PS2s on my Boxter S, handled better and rode with no harshness. They totally transformed the car to the good. That said, I don't really know how they compare to the Perillis, but will when I put them on in a few thousand more miles.
