Thanks YC for the prompt and Embee for the linky, you are spot on - it doesn't have to be rock hard to handle well, especially on our roads. In fact quality sporty suspension (TTX/Showa BP etc) can surprise with its compliance on a dodgy B road, that is the mark of quality damping.

Anyhow, I've actually got some Morris Fork oil in 5 and 10w, some folk do rate it highly and its nice that its as British as fork oil gets, but without any spec to hand its guesswork. Will see if I can find a Morris pdf.

Embee with set up as described (7.5 w) you are using the standard air gap, correct? My idea was to get the right oil and avoid the guesswork of altering the air gap.
