Showa vs marzocchi

If there's a thread covering this, please point me in the right direction as I couldn't find anything and have lots of newbie questions floating around my head

I need to do something with my forks. I was going to have a go at replacing springs and oil myself as I'm not sure I can justify a proper set up from a guru at the moment.

Before I start, what's so much better about Showa? I'll have to spend ££ on refreshing any forks I buy anyway so my question I suppose is...

1) Are the Showa worth the extra money? What is it that makes them such a popular upgrade?

2) Is the spring and oil refresh enough? Should I look at any other bits as part of a refresh (or maybe use a professional service?) or are the Marzocchi not worth spending much money on?
