So, I can get my hands on a DJ1 QR20 for pretty cheap, but I don't know how it will ride compared to the Z1 QR20, which I'm more familiar with.

Anyone ridden both and can give me an opinion of the DJ1 vs. Z1?

DJ1 uses a simple damper that gets compression spiking given harder hits. It will not be a plush fork, it's a stiff, dirt jumper fork meant to soak up big landings. The Z.1 FR has a more sophisticated damper that allows it to follow any type of terrain better and respond to big hits better than the DJ1 by making full use of the available travel.

Z.1 FR is worth the cash.
