Well your mileage might vary but, I find the following:
Smoother action - less harsh
Consistent performance throughout a race
Smoother range of adjustment
Greater range of adjustment i.e adjustments to the settings have very noticeable effects
Wide range of springs available
Quality (altho' your experiences show otherwise)
Rebuildable - serviceable
Service centre availability
It's a bit hard to describe but, with a decent shock like the Ohlins I can feel what the suspension and tyres are doing, with lesser kit it's not so easy.
I don't think Ohlins is the best any more and there's a wide choice out there now but, it's still good stuff. Whether you think it's worth it for your type of riding and the roads you ride on depends upon you. For me it's worth it and I'd always spend money on suspension over anything else except tyres.
