I've got a set on my stumpy m2- they're very very nice but remember you have to buy the hub to go with them. It's another £100 ish due to it's 24mm through axle, and also because they're upside down, you have to have discs. I got lucky with mine on ebay £276 brand new with hub!!! (instead of £550ish!), but then realised I had to have a new wheel built up and buy a set of discs.....
Very nice, I have a set on my Seven which I may be replacing with a set of rigid forks (I live in Cambridge which is flatter than the Netherlands!).
They look very cool but more over they do work. Travel can be dropped from 125 to 90 when climbing, very adjustable with a standard shock pump. The damping has quite a narrow range of adjustment which seems odd when you first get them but then how often to you use full damping anyway? 24mm hubs are available from hope, king or maverick.

Thanx guys, they're not for me, cause I'm too old to chance anything 'bout my riding style :roll: 
But a friend of mine is very tempted to buy one..... might better order 'm in the States I guess. Must admit they look just sooo much better then other suspension forks, glad to hear they work allright also
cheers Roy

I bought one and was so impressed with it I now have 2, and a DUC32 too, I guess I'm a convert. Why?
They're plush, light, tunable, and the lockdown feature is perfect for me
You can convert them to 29er spec in minutes
Forks are designed for owner maintenance and tuning
and tidbit: Hope do a Maverick conversion kit for the Pro II hub.
The user service part is very nice, IIRC Maverick did this to simply not worry about a world wide service network. I've had mine apart and played with oil grades, oil volumes and negative spring rates. I learned a lot already and next I'll have a go at the shim stack.
And because of the compatibility thing the used ones on ebay can be very good deals. pics:
above is the 29er
