Progressive 412's worth the money?

Progressive 412's worth the money?
I saw some progressive 412 shocks in the J and P catalogue for $256.00. Does anyone have this particular shock on a sporty, and if so do they help the ride considerably if they are replaced with the stock length? I don't want to lower my bike, but I took a trip to memphis this weekend and it was a rough ride, so I'd like to improve the comfort level. Are shocks the first thing to replace or is there something else I should do first to get a more comfortable ride?

I also have recently added the Sundowner seat, just haven't updated to photo to show it. I weigh 180 lbs. and I can raise my stock shocks 2 more notches but I think that will make the ride stiffer yet. The Sundowner made a whole lotta difference, but not near enough.
Maybe I'll invest in the 412's and see what happens. I don't want to lower the bike at all though, so I guess 13.5 inch 412's would be the proper length for stock.
