Progressive shocks (regular vs. hd) - Any experience

I have read a lot of posts regarding the 412 HD shocks. My bike has 20K miles and I bought used. It appears as though the shocks are original and I would think need to be replaced. I want to get the progressive 412's but wasn't sure about which one (regular or HD). I am leaning toward the 412 hd but wasn't sure how stiff the ride would be if I only ride solo (I weigh 195). Is there that big a difference between the two in ride and stiffness? I was thinking get the 412 hd and adjust to a softer ride. \\;

Any input would be appreciated.  \\;

based on your weight, I would go with regular. \\; I did the HD with the 440's and wish I hadn't. \\; I weight 215 now, 225 when I bought them. \\;
