Ride quality is subject to valving, you already know that, not to mention the ability to run a base valve with a monotube for any minute difference in driver "feel" twintubes wont get the same sort of repeatability of a monotube, not to mention increased stiffness of an inverted monotube up front, or the possibility for reduced unsprung weight in the rear.

OK OK, you're a Koni hater. I get it...
Typically twin tube dampers have a more comfortable ride feel. That may or may not be due to the fact that monotube dampers are typically valved more aggressively. Shocks do not increase stiffness, you should know that.
As far as "user rebuildable" pretty much nobody on pretty much any forums has the equipment to properly charge the shocks or the expertise to do the labor themselves. I do not see "user rebuildable" as any sort of valid argument. Bilsteins are however cheaper to rebuild/re-valve so there is a point to the cost.
Some people are hardcore for Koni's some people are hardcore for Bilsteins. BOTH camps are firmly entrenched in their positions. Attempting to argue which one is better is purerly subjective.
In all honesty, I prefer Bilsteins from my experience. Unfortuanetly there are not really any realistic or affordable Bilstein options for the S-chasis. Anything Bilstein would either have to be imported and would cost cubic megabucks, or it would have to be fabricated and a PITA. If they made Bilstein PSS9/10's for the 240's like they do for my M3, I would be all about them.
