If you could get either for the same price which would you choose (and not just because brand, unless you feel they are so similar that brand would make your decision)?

travis. ive only test ridden both, but i like the travis more, seems more plush to me. If you can get an 06 66rc2x, id go for that though

I read in the MBUK that the Manitou is a fine fork, but that it will please people more who like dropping...
Haven't personally ridden in though

If they were the same price, I would get the Zokes in a heartbeat. I personally like feel of a broken in Zokes, and typically the reliability is higher than Manitous. I think the Travis looks great, but it sure seems like there are a lot of postings about people having reliability issues with their Travis. Of course this may be Especulation, but from my experience Manitou doesn't have a very good track record.

I don't like how tall the 05 66's are, they are 30-40mm longer than the 06's but have the same travel.

My thoughts exactly! I dont like manitou except for the Dorado. So I would buy a 'Zocchi without even thinking about buying a Manitou.
