Some excellent points there, but Konis over Fortunes? I (for one) would definitely pay more for a car with quality coilovers already installed over a car with struts+springs, since they would be getting replaced with a set of coilovers anyway.

A koni setup is better than if not all, then dedinitely most coilover setups easily. The reason no one does it, cuz hardly anyone knows anything about valving and correct spring rate(me included). A good valve job can run above 1000$ and kids of zilvia are chizzeap and uneducated.

Well, we have companies like Fortune Auto now that revalves their stuff with the spring rates. There's a couple other not so well known companies that does the same thing stateside now a days.
