its pretty sweet alright. Chainreaction bought out Hotlines Uk who are the Uk hayes/manitou distributors. Hence the dorados. He's not one of the owners of CRC but one of the top dogs in there product manager r something like that.
in my opinion, that ride is perfect.... except for the mallets. I had a bad experience with mallets last year and since then, I can't say I'm a fan of them.
I swapped bikes with a mate on an M6 for a few runs over summer here.
I couldn't wait to hand it back and he didn't want to.
His M6 is now up for sale.

The rail system does require a little bit more maintenance than other bike's suspension systems. However, all it entails is squeezing a bit of grease into the ports, wiping them down and that's about it. Once in a while I take them apart to fully clean them down (also not difficult). I live in an area where I ride hard every day with numerous chairlifts and in such variable conditions. Good testing ground for the 303.
PM me if you want any further info.
For what it's worth, the M6 is one sexy bike. I sincerely hope Manitou have ironed out the wrinkles and have finally produced an awesome performing fork to match it's looks.
I lent my Balfa BB7 to a mate with an M3(same weight as me), and he said it was better than his(I think so)but it could all just be set up,wrong weight springs,damping etc etc.
