620-Monster swap for 620-SS anyone ?

On the principle that if you dont ask then you will never know ...

I'm thinking of selling the ex-Rattler-05 bike, as I just couldnt get so i trusted it over the cadwell bumps.
I loved it for every minute at snetterton, and was only overtaken by people who had better corner-speed than me, but at cadwell it was like a different bike.
Now unless someone had wound off all the rear damping, there wasnt anything else that was changed, and even with that stiffened up, it still made me back off in at least 3 places round cadwell compared to (mostly ) just holding the throttle wide open on the 583ss - both days I rode the 620monster in the morning and the 583ss in the afternoon.
So, I'm applying the advice I've been giving out of not being able to race properly unless you're completely comfortable, and thinking 620ss or 620-into-an-old-ss

(Yes, if I got a buyer for the monster @ ~3k then I'd prob see if herself would let me buy gg's 620)
