have to say they are pretty but a complete git to fit ..twas nerve wracking to do it.must get bike stand will make things much easier next time.
I bought my Pro CLass RC36 TiNi new in 1997, and never looked back. I ride it to this day, currently it's destined for my next retro build. I also heard a lot about QA/QC problems, but I've never had a problem with any of mine.
In Holland they're very few and far between, people seem to be afraid to be different. Never understood that: Pace are more adjustable and cheaper than the high end competition, and only noodles are lighter. Plus to me they were sooo sexy in Carbon Fibre, way ahead of the rest. Plus2 they had the same decent importer that supported them until they went DT this year.
I've got RC40's on my 97 Heckler, the 100-130 adjustable coil version and I love them to bits. Much the same here, compared to the (Fox) competition they're lighter cheaper and more adjustable. I've no experience with Zocchi's but don't think you'll be disappointed, and likely gain a pound in weight rather than grams
Since this week I also have a set of Fighter 150mm forks with the 20mm thru axle, these are almost in a class of their own, bar maybe the Maverick DUC 32. I can hardly wieght til that build is done.
Enjoy!!

Aah...well. Pace forks, they are light, they look good, the performance is excellent regardless of year[but subject to maintenance 
] and parts are [mostly] available for ALL years[from me!]. They were all handbuilt and each years forks had a character and quirkyness that you don't get with the mass produced gear, any problem with them can be sorted; never right off a Pace fork.
.....But then I guess I might be a little biased

I have rc41's on my 'current' Santa Cruz, having owned 4 pairs previously going back to the original 35's pre AB..
if you want a 5 inch travel, light, stiff, totally weatherproof and 4 way adjustable fork, there's nothing to touch the RC41's nothing at all. Fox can stick their shit seals and high stiction where the sun don't shine.

+1. I have the RC41 XCAM on my Giant Trance. Superb fork - lighter than the RC36 it replaced, with more stravel, stiffer, and smoother travel. They've needed one service in the 2 years I've owned them. The launch control is great for steep climbs too.
