First, I don't have the Progressive shocks on either RX3, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I've had Progressive shocks on other bikes. Quality brand of shock, for sure. Like you, I ride 40% gravel road and 60% pavement and also ride conservatively. The Progressive (brand) shock is very expensive so I messed with my stockers continuously until I was basically happy with them for my riding style.
If i rode more aggressively, or on far more challenging terrain, I might have gone with the Progressive shock upgrade. I do remember one thing. The original Progressive shock CSC was pedaling was too stiff for more folks. I don't know what spring rates they offer now. Maybe some of the old-time RX3 guys can chime in.
