Switch from Koni Active to B6 or Sport?

Hi Y'all,

I've gone through a bit of hell over a couple of years to get my 996.2 Cab to feel right.
Suspension has been fully refreshed with OEM equivalent parts. Have thicker sway bars from and rear, and new Michellin 4S tires
Also added ROW M030 springs (don't want to sit lower)

I went with Koni FSD's so I wouldn't feel "beat up" on rough LA streets. However, I feel like the rebound control just sucks.
Feels like in a sweeping higher speed corner (not on a track), or on left/right switches, I'm bounding too much, and even little course corrections send me jiggling.
Once the car takes a set, the grip from the tires is there, but it doesn't feel like the car is being held down well. Like the tires are working too hard.

Would a switch to B6's make a meaningful difference? I'm 20k into the car more than it's worth at this point.... feels like most things are more new than old
But I don't want to feel unsafe or like the car is not "on rails" after everything I've put in.

Thoughts from the group, especially from anyone who's used both?

Or even Koni Sports?

This Oil line is leaking. Has any one does this job before? 2000 996 carrera?

While im in there I will replace this valve as well.
My biggest concern is where does that hose connect into the engine. And also if I need to remove the AC compressor.
